Babysitter at childcare centre arrested over death of four-month-old boy


SHAH ALAM: The police have arrested a babysitter at a childcare centre who is believed to be involved in the death of a four-month-old boy on Jan 3.

Kuala Langat district police chief Supt Akmalrizal Radzi said the babysitter, a local woman in her 30s, had been released on bail after the police recorded her statement.

"We are now waiting for instructions from the Deputy Public Prosecutor for further action," he said on Sunday (Jan 12).

On Saturday (Jan 11), Supt Akmalrizal said initial investigations had revealed elements of negligence in the case where the babysitter was found to have left the victim without proper monitoring for a long time.

The centre was ordered to close by the Selangor Social Welfare Department on Tuesday (Jan 7). – Bernama
