  "account": "A 16-month-old infant, Nur Anggun Dahlia Abdullah, allegedly endured torture and murder at the hands of her 39-year-old step-grandmother, Nurul Farhana Laili Shah, in Kota Tinggi. The infant's funeral took place at the Makam Dagang Islamic Cemetery, attended by about 20 people, including family members and close neighbors. Prosecutors charged Farhana with murder, alleging she inflicted fatal trauma to the infant's abdomen and chest using blunt objects between July 30 and July 31. This classification followed an initial suspicion of neglect causing death, based on Farhana's claim of the infant's death in her sleep.",
