Unaware that the car key was in his child's hand, the man had locked the door, trapping the child alone in the car while his wife and another child remained outside.

"Civil Defence Force personnel, upon receiving the emergency call, were deployed to the location and opened the car door at 8.55pm," he told Bernama last night
