Updated! 4 year old Shearwey Ooi Ying Ying is dead. What is worse, her body was burnt using kerosene and her remains strewn over at least 4 different places - a cemetery, river, apartment dumpsite in Paya Terubong, and another river in Jalan Air Itam.
If this is not an indication of how sick and perverted our society has become, I don't know what is. I still remember the case of the 8 year old girl Ang May Hong who was brutally mutilated and murdered back in the 80s, and which the heinous murderer was never found until this day. Not too long ago we see in Johor the rape and murder of 10 year old Nurul Huda, and in Sabah the murder of 10 year old Hasirawati Saridi. All the cases involved little girls who are still kids who tend to trust adults and most vulnerable. Even boys are not spared.

Nowadays parents cannot afford to be not vigilant and alert anymore...as what Intel's Andy Grove said...only the paranoid survives. Do not even let your child be away from your sight and grip even for 1 second in public areas. 1 second is all it takes to grab away your kid.
Update (9 July, 1:54pm): Heads up from a friend. Apparently according to Nanyang Siang Pau, the detained woman relative referred to by The Star is in fact the little girl's own mother while the detained man is her boyfriend! The woman was supposedly in the process of divorcing her husband. This is also reported in China Press where apparently she created the story to mislead everyone. Utterly gobsmacked. Reminds me of the toddler boy who was tortured to death last year by the aunt and the boyfriend in Johor as well...sigh.
Update (10 July, 12:37pm): In today's The Star, the English press finally reported that the mother of the killed 4 year old has been arrested to help in investigation. Let's pray that the killer will be brought to justice so that the little girl would not have died in vain.
