Kid stuffed in a sports bag

Dear readers,
this is a fate of a poor child...
please read on.

It began with an innocent visit to the night market.
On the evening of August 20th 2007, 8-year old Nurin Jazlin Jazimin asked her mother for permission to run down to the neighbourhood’s night market. She wanted to buy hair grips for herself. Her mother, was entertaining a guest at that time. She said ok, thinking that Nurin was going to be accompanied by her younger sister. Her daughters usually go out either in a buddy-system or in groups. It never occurred to her that Nurin had decided to venture out by herself.

In between the bustling atmosphere of the night market, the shoppers failed to notice anything out of the ordinary. The only witness to the abduction was another little girl, who had innocently assumed that Nurin was being taken home by someone she knew, perhaps a relative.

Meanwhile, back at home, Nurin’s parents grew frantic when they realized their little girl had not returned. The night was getting late. Father, Jazimin Abd. Jalil, knew immediately that something was wrong. He went out to search for his missing daughter without success, despite help from concerned relatives and neighbours.The exhausted Jazimin finally trudged over to the local police station to lodge a report about his missing daughter.

Her disappearance made its way into the local newspapers. It hardly made headlines on the front-page news. A week later her mother, Norazian, tearfully appealed to the press for the first time for help locating her missing daughter. By now, the police officially classified the case as “kidnapping”.

Nurin’s parents were in despair. Her disappearance was not the only thing that was worrying, it was the state of her health that they were concerned with as well. Nurin suffered from kidney problems and high blood pressure. The missing child required daily medical attention. She needed to return home.

readers,
above is all about the missing child.
the heart piercing issue is how the child returned back home.

Unfortunately, this case offered no happy ending. The pleas of her parents for Nurin’s safe return went unheeded.

On September 17th, a company supervisor in Petaling Jaya stumbled across a large Diadora sports bag outside the company premises when she came to open the store. It was Monday morning. She initially thought the bag belonged to her employer who had just returned from a trip, 30 minutes later, it was discovered that the bag did not belong to him. Upon opening the bag to search for identification or clues to the owner, to his horror, he found a body within. He immediately alerted the police.What followed next was a series of media circus.

The body in the bag was a female child, aged between 6 and 8. She had been sexually-assaulted and strangled. Reports confirmed that she died approximately 6 hours prior to being transported to the “dump site”. Nurin’s parents were alerted immediately. They rushed to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for the identification procedure, barely able to brace themselves for the impending nightmare. Due to severe physical changes on the body caused by trauma, the husband and wife were unable to recognize her.
But the subsequent DNA testing proved that the body in the morgue was indeed their child.

Creating awareness to prevent more Nurins is my main aim thru this blog.
i cant blame her parents fully for her death yet if they were aware of her going out alone,this death can be avoided. she wasn't kidnapped in a lonely area but in between a well crowded night market!how can we be so ignorant when a child is walking alone?'selfish neighbourhood' i would conclude.if any of her neighbours showed a little concern when they noticed her alone-either sending her back home or accopanying her or alert her parents...she might be alive today with us smiling,well its too late for me to suggest what a individual should have done,poor nurin is no more.

hoping this case would be a warning to parents or guardiance to make sure they monitor their kids from being left alone at any point of time.
