Couple arrested for suspected murder of baby in Alor Gajah
The child was unconscious when brought to Tampin Hospital by her 24-year-old biological mother at about 11pm on Sunday (July 6).
Doctors discovered injuries to the baby's anus, as well as bruising on her abdomen and back, before lodging a police report. The baby was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the mother had taken her only child from their home in Kampung Anak Air Durian Daun, Tampin, Negri Sembilan to her 20-year-old boyfriend's workplace in Bandar Satelit at around 6.30pm on Sunday (July 6).
The woman reportedly left her daughter with her boyfriend, who works as a musician, while she went out to buy food. Upon returning to the shop, the couple spent time together before the mother said she put her baby to sleep at about 10pm.
The suspect, who is divorced, claimed that when she attempted to wake her child at 10.30pm to return home, the baby was unresponsive.
The couple then rushed the child to Tampin Hospital for treatment.
The baby's body has been sent to the Forensic Unit of Tampin Hospital for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
The male suspect has previous criminal records relating to gambling activities.
Alor Gajah OCPD Supt Ashari Abu Samah said the couple has been remanded until July 13 to assist investigations under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder.

Police arrest father and son for murder after body found in Ampang
KUALA LUMPUR: Police have arrested two men, including a 73-year-old, in connection with a murder that occurred in Taman Pandan Perdana, Ampang, last month. Ampang Jaya police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Azam Ismail said the case initially began as a sudden death report after police received a call from a medical assistant at Hospital Kuala Lumpur at 7.16pm on June 22, alerting them to the death of a man at Jalan Perdana 6/5. "Police immediately rushed to the scene and the death was confirmed by a medical assistant. "However, following a post-mortem at the Ampang Hospital forensic unit the next day, elements of foul play were detected. The post-mortem revealed that the cause of death was necrotising soft tissue infections due to skin and skeletal injuries. The victim's body was discovered inside the home of one of the suspects.
