JASIN: Melaka police are still waiting for a chemistry report in the case of a six-month-old baby boy who died at his babysitter's house to determine whether to initiate any action.
Jasin police chief DSP Ahmad Jamil Radzi stated that the report, along with the outcome of the post-mortem, is crucial to decide on any remand application against the 29-year-old babysitter, although a physical examination of the baby’s body showed no signs of abuse.
"We will decide the next course of action upon receiving these reports," he said when contacted on Tuesday (Dec 10).
The victim, Harraz Noah Nazrul Nizam, was found lying on his back by his babysitter, with a blanket covering his face, around 11.30am on Monday (Dec 9).
The baby, the only child of Nazrul Nizam Mohd Tahar, 29, and Ainol Izzah Raslan, 25, had been fed milk and burped by the babysitter before being placed on a mattress to sleep.
However, at around 11.40am, the babysitter found the baby unconscious and immediately contacted Ainol Izzah. The baby was then rushed to the Merlimau Health Clinic and referred to Melaka Hospital, where doctors confirmed that the baby had passed away.
