The baby was left under the uncle’s care at the time
Hafiz further revealed that the couple had allegedly left their son in the care of his uncle while they were at work.
Before the incident, the uncle and the child were reportedly sleeping in the living room. However, it is believed that the boy wandered out of the house while the uncle was still asleep.
