The incident has deeply saddened and shocked Fatimah, who expressed her condolences to the victim's family, emphasizing that no child should ever be a victim of violence. She urged the public to refrain from spreading unconfirmed information, pictures, or speculation, as it could add to the family's grief and potentially interfere with the ongoing police investigation. The police have informed Fatimah that a man in his late 40s has been remanded for six days and the case is being investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.",
