PETALING JAYA: A jobless man was today brought to the Magistrate's Court here on charges of murdering and sodomising a nine-month-old baby boy, his wife was babysitting at an apartment here three weeks ago.
Mohamed Badruldin Mohamed, 36, nodded his head for the murder charge while for the charge on sodomising the baby, he pleaded not guilty.
Both charges were read before Magistrate Muhammad Iskandar Zainol.
No plea was recorded from accused for murder as the murder case was under the purview of the High Court.
