The remand was originally set to expire on Saturday and the case was initially investigated under Section 31 of the Child Act 2001, but after the victim died, it was reclassified for investigation under Section 302 of the Penal Code for murder. Last Tuesday, Johor Police chief Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the four-year-old boy was admitted to Sultan Ismail Hospital , Johor Bahru on Dec 23 after fainting at a house in Senggarang before he died at 6.45 pm on Dec 26.
The victim who was under the care of his 19-year-old sister, as their parents are currently in prison serving time for drug offences, was later handed to her friends to look after. On Thursday, Kamarul Zaman reportedly said the result of the autopsy conducted at HSI found that the cause of death was due to blunt force head trauma. - Bernama
