> 1yo baby raped and sodomised

KUALA LUMPUR: A babysitter and her two sons were picked up by police in Sentul in connection with the sexual abuse of a 1-year old girl. Police went to their flat in Bandar Baru Sentul and picked them up about 6pm yesterday.

An initial medical report had shown that the girl had been sexually abused.

Police are tightlipped as to why the three were brought in and whether a second medical report was ready.

City Crime Investigation Department chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the three suspects were at the police headquarters here and police expected to obtain a remand order today.

On Sunday, a young couple who had entrusted a family friend to babysit their daughter were devastated when they found blood on the toddler’s private parts while changing her diaper. The couple immediately rushed her to a clinic.

It is learnt that the toddler had been in the woman’s care from 9am to 7pm daily, six days a week, for the past seven months.

The couple had earlier told reporters that a doctor at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital said that there were penetration wounds in their daughter’s private parts, indicating that she had been sodomised and raped.
