A five-year-old girl named Puteri Nur Afiyah Qalesya Mustafa died after being thrown into a river by her uncle in Kota Tinggi, Malaysia. The tragedy occurred in Kampung Padang, Tanjung Sedili, after the victim and her 40-year-old father returned to the village to obtain medicine. According to Sedili assemblyman Muszaidi Makmor, the suspect was believed to be of unsound mind and acted unexpectedly during the incident.
The girl's grandmother, Mahani, recounted that the family had breakfast together and that Puteri asked to play outside. When her father could not locate her, Mahani began searching for her daughter. She ultimately found Puteri's slipper on the riverbank, leading them to conclude that the girl had been thrown into the river. Kota Tinggi district police chief Superintendent Yusof Othman confirmed the arrest of the suspect, who allegedly chased the father with a parang after throwing the girl into the water.
