GUA MUSANG, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Police are tracking down a suspect linked to the discovery of a prematurely born baby boy buried at a playground here yesterday.
Gua Musang police chief Supt Sik Choon Foo said the infant was found at a People's Housing Project (PPR) following a public tip-off at 10.30 pm.
"Initial investigations indicate the baby was born prematurely and is believed to have died several hours before being discovered," he said in a statement today.
The body, wrapped in a diaper and bearing traces of blood, was sent to the Forensic Unit at Gua Musang Hospital for a post-mortem. A teenager made the grim discovery after stepping on soft soil covering the baby’s body.
Sik urged anyone with information to contact the Gua Musang Police Station at 09-9121222 or the nearest police station.
