This tragic incident took place in the babysitter’s home located at Kampung Setia Jaya, Setapak.

The baby’s mother visited the home at around 12.15pm on Tuesday (January 8) and was astonished at what she witnessed. To her great surprise, she found out that the baby’s right eye was bruised. 

After noticing this, she immediately phoned her husband. Both the parents had quickly rushed the baby to a private clinic at Taman Melati to check on his condition. Later, he was rushed to Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL).

However, the baby was pronounced dead several minutes after reaching the hospital. RIP baby 🙁

Wangsa Maju District Police Chief Superintendent Noor Azmin Yusoff stated that the victim’s father, 33, said the baby boy was healthy the day before.

“The post-mortem conducted by the HKL forensics team has found that the baby died from head-related injuries and internal bleeding, possibly caused by a fall,” he said.

According to The Sun Daily, Kuala Lumpur Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Chief Rusdi Md Isa stated that no arrests have been made.

Also, this particular case will be further investigated under Section 31(1) of the Child Act 2001. As for now, only a police report has been filed in relation to the incident.

Hopefully, with in-depth investigations, the reason behind the baby boy’s death will be discovered. Our prayers and thoughts go out to both the parents during this difficult time.
