MELAKA: Preliminary police investigations have revealed no evidence of abuse in the case of a six-month-old baby boy who died at his babysitter’s home in Merlimau, Jasin, on Monday.
Jasin police chief Deputy Superintendent Ahmad Jamil Radzi confirmed that a physical examination of the baby’s body showed no signs of criminal activity. He added that authorities are still awaiting the post-mortem and lab results to further investigate the cause of death.
“The next steps, including any remand application for the babysitter, will depend on the post-mortem and chemical analysis reports,” he said.
The baby, identified as Harraz Noah Nazrul Nizam, was found lying on his back with a blanket covering his face around 11:30 am. The child had been fed and burped by the babysitter before being placed on a mattress to sleep.
Around 11:40 am, the babysitter discovered the baby unconscious and immediately contacted the child’s mother, Ainol Izzah Raslan. The baby was rushed to the Merlimau Health Clinic and later referred to Melaka Hospital, where doctors confirmed his death.
Harraz was the only child of 29-year-old Nazrul Nizam Mohd Tahar and 25-year-old Ainol Izzah Raslan.
