SEREMBAN: Police here have arrested a man at a house in Bandar Sunggala, Port Dickson, on Tuesday to facilitate investigations into the neglect of a three-year-old girl that led to her death.

“Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident took place at 8.30 pm on March 15, when the suspect, purportedly the boyfriend of the victim’s 38-year-old mother, attempted to open the van’s door when he stopped in front of a shop en-route from Taman Anggerik to Taman Mayung, Telok Kemang.
