JOHOR BAHRU, March 19 — The police have recorded the statements of six individuals to help investigate the case of a woman who allegedly murdered her son by slitting his throat at a residential area in Pasir Gudang on Saturday (March 16).
Johor police chief CP M. Kumar said the individuals, which included the husband, family members, and neighbours, had cooperated in the investigation into the death of the 18-month-old child.
The police are also waiting for a complete report on the health status of the 32-year-old mother to find out if she faces any mental issues.
“Initial checks have revealed the woman does have health records, but we are still waiting for a full report from the hospital.
“The woman is currently (under remand) at the Permai Hospital in Tampoi and is undergoing treatment as she has minor injuries, but so far, she has been cooperating,” he said during a press conference after inspecting the Ramadan Bazaar site at Plaza Angsana today.
Kumar added that the motive of the case is still under investigation.
The woman was remanded for seven days at Permai Hospital to assist in the investigation of the case, which was investigated under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
In the 1.30pm incident, the woman also sent a photo of her son, whose neck was covered in blood, to her husband via WhatsApp.
