10-month-old boy died from 'blunt force' head injuries

A 10-month-old infant passed away after sustaining head injuries resulting from blunt force trauma, according to police. Assistant Commissioner Anuar Abdul Rahman of the Seberang Prai Utara district police chief disclosed that medical professionals were unable to ascertain whether the injuries were accidental or inflicted intentionally.

The investigation has not established the number of impacts, the object utilized, or the precise moment when the injuries transpired. The baby had been in good health when he was entrusted to the babysitter's care around 5:40 am on Monday. He was later discovered weak, and the babysitter sought assistance from her husband in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Regrettably, the infant was presumed to have succumbed before reaching the Sungai Dua Health Clinic for further medical attention. The babysitter was detained for a week on Tuesday to aid in the ongoing investigation.
