KUALA LUMPUR – The urine test of a male suspect who stabbed his twenty-month-old daughter, was found to be positive for methamphetamines, said Selangor CID chief Datuk Fadzil Ahmat.
He said the 27-year-old suspect was remanded for five days until December 17 (Thursday) and is being investigated under Section 326 of the Penal Code.
“Police are tracking down the whereabouts of the suspect's ex-wife who is the biological mother of the injured girl to assist with the investigation,” he told Bernama.
Meanwhile, Subang Jaya district police chief ACP Abd Khalid Othman said the suspect was believed to be suffering from emotional stress after being abandoned by his wife.

Apart from that, Abd Khalid said the victim was transferred to Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL) yesterday for surgery.
He said the victim was reported to be in stable condition in the intensive care unit (ICU).
