This time round, the assault proved fatal, as Daniel died during his sleep. His death was only discovered the next morning on 23 November 2015, when the couple were unable to wake him up at around 8am. Zaidah's landlady and her niece, who were also at the flat itself, called the ambulance despite the couple's attempt to stop them both, and the paramedics arrived soon after, tending to Daniel before he was pronounced dead at 9am, after they found that there was no heartbeat. An autopsy was conducted on Daniel, and it was found that he sustained about 41 external injuries all over his body; the forensic report also certified that Daniel's head injury was the cause of his death, as there was bleeding in the brain.

more culpable, so as to deter such crimes and punish parents who could have had the ability to prevent the abuse of their child or children but chose to not do so. It was often noted that in such cases, a biological parent or step-parent was involved whenever two or more were facing charges for child abuse that resulted in death. More frequently, the parent who allowed the death was overwhelmingly a woman. Experts and welfare individuals stated that the females would often hesitate to step in whenever these instances of abuse happened, as the women would fear retaliation or further violence may come down on themselves or their children and they also feared that their children would be removed from the household if reports of the abuse was lodged. As of 2024, there was one conviction made for the crime of allowing a child's death by abuse;

behind the crime, stating that Daniel was a vulnerable victim who did not have the maturity and physical strength to protect himself and could not escape the flat and abuse. DPP Poh argued in her submissions that Daniel, given his young and vulnerable age, should be nurtured in a safe and secure environment at the very sancity called home, and in contrast to this expectation, his living conditions were as harsh and inhumane as those of a "concentration camp". The prosecutor also pointed out that another aggravating factor was that both the accused harboured a "callous lack of remorse" for their actions, reasons behind which they did not account for and they were also viewing the boy's plight with "cool indifference", given that they consciously lied to paramedics and police that the injuries were accidental and self-inflicted by Daniel.
364:. Masita was saddened to see Daniel go when his mother took him away to take care of him on her own, and she lost contact of Daniel's mother, who changed her address and contact details, and through the help of Daniel's new caregiver Yusnita Mohamed Idrus (aged 41 in 2016), Masita was able to secretly reunite with Daniel in September 2015. Masita's 21-year-old second son Irwan Shah Kasim also told the reporters that he had to carry out the sad task of notifying his mother about Daniel's death, after the boy's caregiver called to inform him about his death at the hands of Zaidah and her boyfriend, and the news broke Masita's heart. After the sentencing of Zaidah and Zaini, Masita, who reportedly cannot forgive the couple for killing Daniel, felt that the verdict was unsatisfactory, and she wanted to make use of the

predicament Daniel was in during the final days of his life. Nasser said that he was unable to forgive his ex-wife and her boyfriend for killing his son, and he stated that when he first heard about the birth of his son, whose existence he was unaware of until the prison officer broke the news to him, he strived to turn over a new leaf for his son and wanted to be a good father to the boy whom he never got to meet until the news of his death came a year after Nasser began to search for his son and ex-wife, which was an emotional blow for him. Nasser only got to see and touch his son for the first time at the mortuary, and he and Daniel's paternal relatives conducted the funeral for Daniel, who was buried at Lim Chu Kang Muslim
Cemetery on 30 November 2015.
171:. However, the marriage was short-lived, because during that same year, Daniel's biological father Mohamad Nasser Abdul Gani discovered that his wife was having an affair, and this led to a divorce after a few months of marriage. Unknown to Nasser at that stage, his ex-wife Zaidah, a cleaner who goes by one name, was already pregnant with Daniel, who was born a month after Nasser was sent to prison for drug offences. Nasser, who was sentenced to 18 months' jail for drug abuse in December 2012, was only notified of Daniel's existence when an officer brought him a document to acknowledge his relation to Daniel. Nasser was released in June 2014, and tried to search for his son, but his search lasted for at least a year but he never found his son.

government, in reaffirming their stance in
September of that same year, also stated that it was often difficult in cases of child abuse to prove an offender guilty of manslaughter at least, in view of insufficient evidence to proceed with such charges, and it was the normal practice to prosecute the offender for causing grievous hurt, which carried less severe punishments than manslaughter, but the government also stated that an offender who intentionally abused a child to the point of death was no less culpable than one who committed manslaughter. The changes also included greater protection of minors, abolition of immunity in marital rape and decriminalize attempted suicide. These new laws were eventually passed in early 2019.

Later that evening, Daniel was told to stand near a fan as a punishment. Daniel, who was exhausted, rested his hand on a bed frame but the couple spotted this and they both slapped him. Subsequently, Daniel laid down on the floor and closed his eyes, and Zaini caught sight of this and hence force-fed the boy two spoonfuls of dried chilli. Zaini forcibly brought Daniel to the toilet, washed his mouth and ordered Daniel to stand in the living room.

The couple were unrelenting in the face of
Puspawati's intervention and retorted that she should mind her own business. Puspawati described Daniel as a "brave" boy who did not cry even when he was repeatedly battered by his mother and/or Zaini.
279:"senseless brutality" and stated that a young child like Daniel did not deserve to be treated with abuse and pain "at the hands of the very persons who should have been his source of support, comfort and happiness". District Judge Reddy also briefly summed up that for having prematurely and mercilessly ended the life of two-year-old Mohamad Daniel Mohamad Nasser with extreme violence and unrelenting cruelty, a harsh sentence was warranted to correspond with the cold-blooded nature of the crime.

135:. At the time of his death, Daniel sustained about 41 external injuries caused by the cruel abuse. Investigations and sources revealed that the couple had often beaten the boy, told him to stand in the living room or kitchen for hours as punishment, and even force-fed him dry chilli, and this abuse lasted for a month or so before Daniel died from a fatal head injury inflicted by the couple.
