Landscaper remanded 3 days after toddler's death
Police originally applied for a seven-day remand at the Shah Alam magistrates' court to facilitate investigations under the Child Act 2001 for negligence. PETALING JAYA : A 19-year-old landscaper has been remanded for three days following the death of his 19-month-old nephew. According to his lawyer, Rajesh Nagarajan, police originally applied for a seven-day remand at the Shah Alam magistrates' court to facilitate investigations under the Child Act 2001 for negligence. However, Rajesh told magistrate Zur Azureen Zainalkefli that such a length of remand was 'ridiculous'. 'His statement has been taken. There's no need for him to remain in lock-up,' Rajesh told FMT. Shaamerul Zamri was arrested on Wednesday after a 19-month-old boy was found dead after a dog attack near his home at Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Buloh earlier this week. A post-mortem showed that the infant died from neck injuries due to alleged canine mauling. Police began investigating the case following a report lodged by a medical officer at Sungai Buloh Hospital. An initial investigation found that the toddler was left in the care of his uncle while his parents were at work. When his parents returned, they found the gate open and the child missing. The boy's body was discovered about 20m from the house, surrounded by several dogs. Rajesh said they were awaiting the forensic report to determine the infant's cause of death, as he could have been attacked by a leopard, given the location of the village near a forest reserve. 'There are claw marks and deep scratches that are inconsistent with a dog attack,' he said. Rajesh also said that the case is being investigated by the wildlife and national parks department. 'I was informed that they have set up three cameras in the vicinity,' he said.
