This was needed to nail those responsible for the deaths of the babies , said Women, Family and Community Develop ment Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil.
“The Cabinet has decided that the Home Ministry through the police, investigate these cases as murder when a baby dies,” she said.
Police would be asked to conduct DNA tests to identify the parents of dead babies, she said in a statement.
Under Section 302 of the Penal Code, the punishment for murder is death.
Before this, cases of baby dumping which led to death were mainly investigated under Section 317 (abandonment), Section 318 (concealment of birth by secret disposal of body), Section 309 (infanticide) or Section 31 of the Child Act (abandonment), said a ministry’s legal officer.
Jail sentences ranged from 10 to 30 years and offenders were also liable to fines.
