Nigerian man, 31, identified as Ebiziem Ifeanyi Stephen has
been declared wanted by the Malaysian police over the death of a five-year-old
boy last Thursday, June 22.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Ruslan Khalid said that the
police brought in the deceased's mother, Nurfathiehah Ahmad Rokmar, 28, on June
23.
"She was picked up by the police in Bayan Baru, Penang
and will be remanded until June 30," he said in a press conference at the
district police headquarters today, Thursday, June 29, adding that they may
seek an extension.
CP Ruslan said that Ebeziem (pictured), is Nurfathiehah's
boyfriend and is believed to be still in the country.
ACP Ruslan urged the public to contact the Brickfields
police at 03-9051 6222 if they have any information on Stephen's whereabouts.
"We believe we can solve the case soon with his
assistance," he said.
On June 22, the five-year-old boy died in Hospital Kuala
Lumpur (HKL) after falling into a coma.
His parents could not be found after they admitted him at a
private hospital in Cheras on June 20, which later transferred the boy to HKL.
It was reported that the father is a foreigner, and both
parents have a history of drug use.
His cause of death has been classified by the police as "head
injuries due to blunt force trauma".
The case is being investigated under Section 302 of the
Penal Code for murder.
