KUALA LUMPUR: “My dear Adam. It must have been cold inside the freezer. It is alright, when you are in Heaven, you will get many beautiful things,” wrote Farrah Madihah Othman, 28, the mother of Adam Rayqal Mohd Sufi, the five-month-old infant whose body was discovered in a freezer in his babysitter’s home on Tuesday night.
Farrah, who shared the heart-wrenching post for her son on Facebook, went on to thank others for the assistance given since news of his disappearance went viral on social media yesterday.
“Remember my advice and take good care of yourself. Mama will go there, my dear, (and) we will have a bubble bath.
“Inallilahiwainnalillahirojiun. Thank you friends, family and Malaysians for making efforts to find Adam and pray good things for him,” she said in the post translated from Bahasa Melayu.
Efforts to interview the distraught mother and husband, Mohd Sufi Naeif Mohd Fauzi, 28, were not successful as the couple avoided talking to pressmen who had gathered at the Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) Forensics Unit since 9am.
Their friends and family members were also seen gathering at the hospital after receiving news of Adam Rayqal’s death.
Mohd Sufi’s uncle, Abdul Rahim Ismail, 54, said the family was still mourning and enraged with the babysitter’s action.
He said the victim’s parents were still weak.
“They had said that what ever happened had been fated. Adam’s grandparents arrived at their house in Taman Amaniah, Batu Caves, at about 3am.
“They also expressed sadness and anger over the incident,” he said when met at HKL today.
Abdul Rahim said the victim was previously placed under the care of a family member in Kuala Terengganu before being sent to the babysitter since a week ago.
“I learned that the couple met the babysitter through Facebook and friends.
“Sufi said the babysitter would text his wife to update on Adam’s condition every hour while caring for him,” he said.
Abdul Rahim refused to comment on the post-mortem on the victim’s remains, saying that it was still under police investigation.
Farrah and Mohd Sufi arrived at HKL at 10.37am today for the identification process.
