Body of baby boy found in Terengganu mosque toilet cistern
The infant is believed to have died more than 24 hours before the discovery of his body, say police.
KUALA BERANG: The body of a baby boy was found in the cistern of a toilet at the Kampung Pasir Simpul mosque here yesterday.

The village’s development and security committee chairman Muhammad Mustaffa said the body was found by a cleaner at 7pm while he was cleaning the women’s toilets.

“After cleaning the toilet, he flushed the toilet cistern and blood-like liquid came out with a very foul smell.

“The cleaner, who thought the cistern was clogged, decided to dig it out with a stick and out came the baby’s hand, which was decomposed,” he said when met by reporters at the mosque here today.

Muhammad said the cleaner immediately called him before he rushed to the mosque and alerted the police.

Hulu Terengganu police chief Zainul Mujahidin Mat Yudin confirmed the matter and said the baby boy was believed to have died more than 24 hours before he was found.

“Further investigations are ongoing and the suspects are still being tracked down,” he said, adding that the case is being investigated under Section 318 of the Penal Code for concealing the baby’s birth and causing his death.
