KUANTAN: Two sisters have been arrested to assist in investigations into the case in which a lifeless baby was placed at the baby hatch of a private hospital here on Tuesday.
Kuantan OCPD ACP Wan Mohd Zahari Wan Busu said the two suspects, aged 24 and 25, were arrested separately in Rompin.
"The first suspect, a 24-year-old unemployed individual, was arrested at a house around 9.50am. A search of the suspect’s bedroom led to the discovery of a sealed white plastic bag labelled ‘Ubat Terkawal/Controlled Medicine’ and ‘ADV’.
"Inside the bag were three sealed transparent plastic packets containing pills suspected to be used for inducing labour, placed on a table in the room. Meanwhile, the second suspect, the elder sister, was arrested at the Rompin district police headquarters compound around 3pm,” he said in a statement on Tuesday (March 11) night.
He added that both suspects have been remanded until March 13 to assist in the investigation under Section 315 of the Penal Code. - Bernama
