A NINE-month-old baby girl in Bandar Baru Bangi, near Kuala Lumpur, died yesterday after she was allegedly raped, sodomised and abused on Thursday.

Kajang police chief ACP Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof said the victim died at 10.30am yesterday after two days in Serdang Hospital.

“Based on the statement of the victim’s mother, when she was sent to the babysitter’s home in the morning, the victim was in good health. However, the victim was said to have suffered from shortness of breath in the afternoon and was rushed to the Bandar Baru Bangi Clinic, before being referred to the Serdang Hospital.

“Further examination on the victim found a tear on the victim’s hymen, and a subsequent examination found that the victim’s anus was also torn,” he said in a statement here today.

The baby’s skull was fractured and a post-mortem by the Serdang Hospital’s Pathology Department found that death was due to “blunt impact to the head”, he said.

“There were also bruises found on the top left and right sides of the victim’s head,” he said.

According to him, the parents sent the child to the babysitter, who lived in the same housing estate, in September.

Dzaffir said police had subsequently arrested the babysitter and her husband, who worked as a barber.

“We arrested the 28-year-old  baby sitter and her husband, aged 36, yesterday.”

The man tested positive for methamphetamine, he said.

The man was remanded for five days until Tuesday, and the case is classified as murder. – Bernama, November 11, 2018.
