Petaling Jaya police chief Mohamad Fakhrudin Abdul Hamid said an individual was reported to have taken an unconscious baby to a government hospital in Selangor for treatment at 7pm.
“Through the post-mortem results, it was found that there were bruises on the mouth and injuries on the baby’s anus.
“Acting on the testimony of witnesses, police then arrested the couple, both 35, who were the baby’s childminders at an apartment on Jalan PJU 1A/42, Kelana Jaya, here yesterday,” he said in a statement today.
