Child Abuse : What Say You?


KUALA LUMPUR: A taxi driver, who is facing a murder charge after allegedly abusing his girlfriend's daughter to death, will also be charged at the Syariah Court with cohabiting with the victim's mother to the extent of having a child born out of wedlock.

Hulu Selangor deputy police chief DSP Bakhtiar Rashid said police would also be referring the 28-year-old man and the victim's mother, aged 25, to the Selangor Islamic Religious Council for further actions.

He said initial investigations found that the unmarried couple had known each other for six years and have an 18-month-old child from their relationship.

"The victim's mother has yet to get a divorce from her husband, but she has been living like a married couple with the suspect," he told Bernama here Saturday.

The three-year-old child, Syafia Humairah Sahari, was believed to have been abused to death by her single mother's companion at their home in Kampung Batu 30, Ulu Yam Lama, Batang Kali near here on Thursday.

Bakhtiar said the suspect had been remanded for seven days until March 4 to facilitate further investigations into the case under Section 302 of the Penal Code.

He said police would be applying for the remand to be extended by another week.

The suspect also tested positive for drugs, he said. Bakhtiar said police would also be arresting six other individuals including the single mother and those who witnessed the incident.

"We will conduct thorough arrests including the mother, who is also believed to have abused the girl.

“We will also call several witnesses to record their statements, including the victim's father who has been held in Sungai Buloh Prison since 2006," he said.

Bakhtiar said the post-mortem report issued by Kuala Kubu Baru Hospital at 10.30am Saturday revealed that the child died of severe abdominal injuries and brain hemorrhage.

"The post-mortem also found that there were various marks believed to be due to abuse on the victim's body. Old and new wounds, believed to have been caused using hard objects, were also visible.

"Bruises and cuts were also found on the child's back, neck, chin and shoulders," he said, adding that the mother's family had claimed the body from the morgue at 1.30pm and that the child was laid to rest at the Kuang Muslim cemetery in Sungai Buloh. - Bernama
