JAKARTA - The Malaysian police have detained an Indonesian migrant worker (PMI), the mother of a five-year-old boy who died in Gelugor.
Head of the North East Police, ACP Abdul Rozak Muhammad, said that in addition to one Indonesian citizen (WNI), his party also detained the PMI's lover who was in his 30s from Bangladesh and two others.
"The police have now detained four people to assist in the investigation, including the child's mother, an Indonesian citizen [WNI], and her boyfriend who is a Bangladeshi," he told Bernama when contacted on Sunday, July 26, quoted from Bernama.
Rozak added that the detention was carried out after officers conducted an autopsy, the results of which were that the boy died with injuries to his head and body due to blunt force trauma.
The case began when an unemployed Bangladeshi man took his boyfriend's son to the nearest clinic after the boy vomited in their rented apartment in Gelugor around 10am on Thursday, July 23.
The boy was then transferred to Penang Hospital. Unfortunately, his life could not be saved. Penang Hospital staff then made a police report because they found bruises on the child.
According to Bernama's report, the dead boy was the child of a marriage between Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) who earned a living in Malaysia as restaurant employees and a Rohingya man who died in 2025.
