This incident happened near my hometown

SEREMBAN: A four-day-old baby girl died after she was attacked by a troop of monkeys at her Taman Happy Garden house in Rasah here Wednesday.

Grandfather A. Valayutham, 75, said he was in the kitchen when the monkeys attacked the baby while daughter-in-law and the baby's mother B. Revathy, 28, was in the washroom.

"I left my granddaughter to fetch a drink in the kitchen and on returning, found the baby missing and there were blood stains everywhere.

"My daughter-in-law rushed out of the house and found her baby with blood stains to the body."

Valayutham said a neighbour rushed the baby to Tuanku Ja'afar Hospital Seremban but she was already dead.

The wild monkeys were believed to have entered the house via the front door before rushing to the living room to attack the baby girl.
