Update on investigation into Brisbane baby coffee attack
Queensland police have revealed they have not given up on finding the man responsible for pouring scalding hot coffee on a baby boy last year. The random attack on nine-month-old Luka at a Brisbane park in August sparked a public outcry and a police manhunt for the assailant, who is believed to have fled the country. On Thursday, Acting Commissioner Shane Chelepy told radio station 4BC that investigations into the 'horrible incident' were ongoing almost one year on. 'This isn't something we've parked in a corner; this was a very serious offence, and we're working hard on it,' he said. 'What I can say is we're still working with our international partners to progress this matter and to get a resolution here. 'We've got a range of investigative strategies.' Acting Commissioner Chelepy said the incident 'struck our investigators pretty hard' and paid tribute to their efforts in finding the culprit. The man is believed to be a 33-year-old Chinese national who left Australia and returned to China via New Zealand shortly after the incident. Radio host Peter Fegan asked the acting commissioner if Queensland Police had sent detectives to China, which he declined to answer. 'I don't want to compromise investigative strategies,' he said. Luka sustained burns to 60 per cent of his body when the man tipped a thermos of hot coffee onto the boy's face during a picnic at Hanlon Park on August 27. The man was captured on CCTV footage fleeing the scene but authorities were unable to track him down before he left the country. It is believed the man had been in Australia on multiple visas and worked at various sites along the East Coast, according to Chinese media reports. Luka's mother told the Courier Mail in November that her little boy had become 'a bit wary of people' since the incident. 'In those first few weeks, we had no idea what his future was going to look like, especially because the burns were so significant,' she said. 'He's healed really well and baby skin is amazing and the synthetic skin graft that they did worked really well.' His father said the prominent burns seen on Luka's body after the incident had healed 'better than we ever thought'. 'Hopefully by the time he becomes a teenager you won't even be able to see the scars anymore,' he said.

Father and baby die in Melaka home, infant suffocates after dad's suspected heart attack
MELAKA, June 19 — A three-month-old baby boy died after he was believed to have been pinned under the arm of his father, who is suspected to have suffered a fatal heart attack, in an incident at Kampung Perigi Hang Tuah here today. Muhammad Nur Daniel Nuruleffendy was found pinned beneath the arm of his father, Nuruleffendy Ibrahim, 35, who was unresponsive when his wife, Azura Abdul Malik, 40, returned home at about 9.30am. The man's sister, Masturadiana, 33, said her brother had complained of chest pain the previous day but refused to seek medical attention. 'At the time of the incident, I was at my house opposite my brother's. Around 9.30am, my sister-in-law knocked repeatedly on my door asking for help. 'She said the baby was unconscious and had turned blue after being pinned under my brother's arm. I immediately told her to take the baby to hospital and asked the others to call an ambulance to check on my brother,' she said when met at the lobby of the Forensic Medicine Department of Melaka Hospital. Masturadiana added that her brother, the fourth of seven siblings, was believed to have been dead for two to three hours before he was found by his wife, lying on his back on the bed. 'My sister-in-law had just returned to work today after three months of maternity leave. She had gone to the office briefly before heading home to take their youngest child to the clinic for his three-month immunisation. 'She had left early, around 6am, to send their two elder children, aged 16 and 15, to school. It came as a shock since my brother had no known illnesses, just some leg pain and gout,' she added. Meanwhile, Bukit Katil Fire and Rescue Station operations commander Mohd Supian Md Dali said the emergency call was received from the hospital at 9.58am. 'We were informed that a male victim in his 30s had died at the scene, while his baby passed away while receiving treatment at the hospital. 'The hospital had requested a team to inspect the house for possible gas leaks, but following further investigation, it was determined that the man had likely died of a heart attack. As a result, assistance from the Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Unit was called off,' he said. — Bernama

Inquest for newborn baby Alby Spreadborough who died at Emerald Hospital
A coronial inquest will investigate the death of a baby boy at a Queensland hospital, following more than two years of advocacy from his grieving parents. Bec Spreadborough's precious son Alby died at Emerald Hospital in February 2023, after an obstructed labour, which occurs when the baby cannot move through the birth canal. In a statement to the ABC, Ms Spreadborough said the decision to proceed to a coronial inquest was an "enormous relief" for her family. She said the coroner's report was disappointing and did not adequately investigate the factors leading to his death. "That trust was deeply let down." Queensland Attorney-General and Minister for Integrity Deb Frecklington said she directed the state coroner to hold an inquest after a meeting with Ms Spreadborough and her husband, Tim. "The loss of any child is heartbreaking, and I hope this decision helps them to get the answers they need," she said. Ms Frecklington's decision marks the second time in recent weeks she has used her powers to order an inquest, after complaints about the central coroner's reports. Ms Spreadborough said it took the central coroner more than two years to deliver the findings, which found Alby's death was not preventable. The coroner ruled the cause of death was an obstructed labour with a Bandl's ring. A Bandl's ring is a rare complication where a ring of muscle constricts between the upper and lower sections of the uterus. She said she had raised with hospital staff her desire to have a caesarean section several times during her labour, but alleged she was pressured to continue to have a vaginal birth. In Queensland, there have been two coronial inquests, both in 2017, for babies who died with obstructed labour as a factor in their deaths. In both cases, the state coroner recommended better education for hospital staff to identify obstructed labour. Ms Spreadborough said she was concerned about the experts the coroner relied on for the report, as there was no neonatologist who could have assessed Alby's condition and the hospital's resuscitation efforts. That is despite a previous review from the Central Queensland Health Service, which recommended the Emerald maternity team undertake regular emergency skill drills for neonatal resuscitation, among other measures. Earlier this year, Queensland Health announced it was developing new clinical guidelines for obstructed and prolonged labour, following Ms Spreadborough's advocacy. It is due to be completed in the second half of this year.
