Following that, the police arrested a 34-year-old woman, who is married with three children, at a nursery to facilitate the investigation.
According to the baby’s father, Major Mohd Fikry Amri Abd Halim, 39, his son, Muhammad Al Fateh Amri had only been sent to the nursery for five days.
He said when his wife Sabrina Hakiem Zaini, 39, arrived at the nursery after being contacted, his son was already limp and his face was bluish.
What’s even more heartbreaking is that the couple had waited 13 years to get a child that they had dreamed of.
