Jailed for killing toddler with chilli

Berjaya Corp unit's hope to recoup US$10m dims after Vietnam court upholds key decision in country's biggest-ever fraud case.

SEREMBAN: A babysitter, who shoved a green chilli into the mouth of a toddler under her care till he choked to death just two days before Hari Raya Aidilfitri, has been jailed for 18 months.

Two-and-a-half-year-old Muham­mad Afif Kamarol Azli had been ill on the morning of June 13 and did not stop whimpering despite being pacified by the accused, Asmarani Ghazali.
