Dead couple’s baby handed over to grandma

KUALA LUMPUR: The six-month-old baby boy of the Japanese couple who was killed after being electrocuted in their apartment in Mont Kiara has been handed over to his grandmother.

Social Welfare Department director-general Datuk Norani Mohd Has­him said the baby boy was handed over to his grandmother yesterday.

“The case is now considered closed (on our part),” she said at the Nati­onal Population and Family Develop­ment Board office yesterday.

The bodies of Matsumoto Keitaro, who was a factory manager in Shah Alam, and his wife Matsumoto Yuka­ri, both 38, were discovered by the maid who arrived at the 13th floor apartment at 10am on Mon­day.

Meanwhile, the Energy Commis­sion has begun an investigation into the incident, believed to be caused by a faulty water heater.
