Investigation of baby’s death at childcare still ongoing, say police


KUALA LUMPUR: The police are still taking statements from the owner and caretaker of a taska in Danau Kota where a baby died.

Wangsa Maju deputy OCPD Supt Syahrul Anuar Abdul Wahab, at the district police headquarters here, said that the process was ongoing.

“No arrests have been made as of now. The owner of the taska and others will be called in for a statement.

“If there are elements of neglect, then we will make arrests,” he said.

On Monday (May 26), a baby died at the taska in Danau Kota. His cause of death was listed as “asphyxia due to food and milk aspiration”.

“We have also identified the owner of the premises,” he said, adding that the police would investigate if the owner was involved in their operations.
