Police locked up a husband and wife for seven days after their adopted daughter died from suspected abuse. The couple faces serious charges under child protection laws for the death of the two-year-old girl. Officers arrested the pair on Thursday after doctors found the toddler covered with bruises and deep cuts. The adoptive parents brought their unconscious child to Sungai Buloh Hospital where she later died. Medical staff immediately called police about the suspicious injuries.
The 27-year-old man and his 28-year-old wife must stay behind bars until Friday as investigators build their case. Police chief Mohd Hafis Muhammad Nor warned the public against making wild guesses about what happened. He said speculation could mess up the ongoing investigation into the child's death. The couple had legal custody of the little girl before the tragic incident occurred. Hospital workers spotted the victim's wounds and swelling when she arrived at the emergency room.
Doctors called police at 12:45 in the morning to report the suspicious death. The toddler never woke up after arriving at the medical facility in critical condition. Her adoptive parents are the main suspects in what appears to be a fatal abuse case. Authorities are gathering evidence to determine exactly how the child suffered such severe injuries. The investigation continues under strict child protection guidelines.
