A 23-year-old woman has been ordered by a Magistrate to remain in custody for four days to aid police investigations into the discovery of a baby's headless body in Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia. The woman was arrested on Saturday and the remand order, issued by Magistrate Nur Athirah Hashim on Sunday, is valid until October 21. She was apprehended at 3:30pm on Saturday.

The body parts were discovered by a woman washing clothes behind her house at the Taman Perumahan Padang Setengge housing estate. The remains consisted of an arm and both legs. A post-mortem at the Forensic Unit of Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Kuala Terengganu revealed the baby had died over 24 hours prior to being found.
