PETALING JAYA: A married couple believed to be under the influence of drugs were arrested by police after mistakenly mixing their baby’s milk with meth-laced water.
Petaling Jaya police chief Shahrulnizam Jaafar@Ismail said that police received information on the incident from Kajang Hospital on Feb 20, a day after the incident which almost killed the baby, Sinar Harian reported.
He added that the couple sent the one-year-old baby boy to his 55-year-old grandmother’s house in Seri Kembangan on the day of the incident.
“While he was in his grandmother’s care, the boy could not stop crying. He was also hyperactive and hard to control. The grandmother then asked the boy’s mother about the reason for his odd behaviour,” he was quoted as saying.
Shahrulnizam said the 34-year-old mother admitted to accidentally mixing the milk powder with meth-laced water that belonged to the boy’s father.
“We arrested the couple at their home in Taman Medan on Feb 20. Both suspects tested positive for drug use from the initial urine tests conducted.
“The baby is still warded in Kajang Hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.
“Both suspects have been remanded for seven days for further investigations under Section 31(1)(a) of the Child Act 2001.” - FMT
