Picture of little 4 year old Iswaran and his 7 year old sister VinothiniFor three months, an ordinary looking first floor unit of a shophouse in Segambut (Kuala Lumpur) concealed a 12 sq ft torture chamber of untold horror. In that “cell”, Vinothini Navindran, seven, and her four-year-old brother, Iswaran Navindran, endured abuse and constant beatings at the hands of a sadistic animal.Yesterday, Iswaran’s ordeal ended. He died. His frail body bore testimony to the suffering he had endured at the hands of his alleged tormentor, his mother’s 26-year-old boyfriend. His torso was almost completely covered with swellings, angry bruises and welts. There were scratches everywhere.
Neighbours spoke of endless nights of wailing and screaming, racked sobs and pleas for mercy. “They were constantly being held under lock and key in the room. If the couple had to leave the unit, they would just throw in a pail and the kids would use that to answer nature’s call,” said Praveen (not his real name), the neighbour who rushed the couple and the dying Iswaran to the hospital (see accompanying story).“My wife would sometimes buy food for the kids. The only way we could talk or pass food to them was through a shutter window at the back of the unit”.

The neighbours knew and yet did NOTHING? Time and again we failed our children!
