MUAR: A 10-month-old baby boy who was believed to have fallen at a baby-sitter’s house, died after four days after being treated at the Sultanah Fatimah Specialist Hospital here, about 9am today.
His father, Nabil Fikri Anwar, 28, who divulged this via Whatsapp, said Naufal Amsyar, who was his only child, had died.
“Assalamualaikum. Please recite Al-Fatihah for my son Naufal Amsyar Bin Nabil Fikri who has passed away at 9 this morning, “he said today.
On Tuesday, the unfortunate baby, looked after by a 35-year-old female baby sitter in Tangkak, was hospitalised after a seizure.
Early checks found that there were old and new bruises on the baby’s left forehead, haemorrhage in the eye and a fractured skull.
Subsequently, last Thursday police arrested the baby sitter to assist in investigations under Section 31 (1) (a) of the Child Act 2001. --BERNAMA
