IPOH, March 28 — An eight-year-old girl, believed to be a victim of abuse, died in Taiping on Thursday after being found with multiple injuries.
Taiping district police chief Abdul Malek Ismail said authorities were alerted to the case following a report from a medical officer at Taiping Hospital.
He said the child was brought to the hospital unconscious at around 12.43pm.
“Doctors performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 40 minutes, but there were no signs of recovery before she was pronounced dead at 1.12pm.
