In 5 December 2023, a six-year-old child, Zayn Rayyan bin Zaim Ikhwan, was confirmed missing in the Damansara area, Selangor, Malaysia. Through a search, the child was found dead in a nearby area, and later confirmed by local police to have been murdered.
Background[edit]
Zayn Rayyan, a six-year-old child with autism, was reported missing on the afternoon of December 5, 2023, and was last seen playing in school uniform in the Damansara Damai area, Selangor, Malaysia.[1][2] Subsequently, broadcasts were made by his family and spread through the media. On the evening of December 6, local police collaborated with hundreds of apartment residents in the search and rescue efforts for Zayn, including door-to-door searches in the surrounding areas.[3] Zayn was later found dead near a riverbank in the nearby bushes on that night by the residents.[4]
Investigation[edit]
Police forensic investigations later confirmed that he was murdered, believed to have been strangled based on neck injuries, and confirmed that he had injuries consistent with self-defense.[5] Additionally, no signs of abuse were detected on his body.[6] Following this discovery, the police established a special task force to investigate the murder.[7] Zayn's body was then buried on December 7 after the post-mortem examination.[8]
The area where the body was found was reportedly searched several times by search parties before.[9] Therefore, the police speculated that he was murdered elsewhere and then brought to the discovery site.[10]
Subsequent investigations continued in the surrounding area to find new evidence.[11] Initial investigations suggested that only one suspect was involved.[12]
