A Baby in Malaysia has been killed by a monkey after the four day old was snatched while she was sleeping in the living room, taken to the roof of the house, bitten and then dropped off from the roof.

The family of the baby has been devastated with the tragedy after the four-day-old was left for a moment in the living room while she was sleeping.

According to reports, the 26-year-old mother had gone to the lavatory while the grandfather went to get a glass of water when the macaque monkey came into the living room and snatched the baby.

The mother and grandfather panicked when they could not see the baby and searched the entire house before seeing her on the floor outside of the house covered in blood.

Officials believe the Macaque had been hungry and looking for food when it saw the baby defenseless and went into the home to investigate.

Such attacks by wild monkeys are so rare the 4-year-old’s death is the first recorded in the state.

The father of the baby was reported to have said to local media “She was our bundle of joy and we were looking forward to spending many happy years with her… I just cannot believe she’s gone.”

It has been reported that the monkey responsible for the attack on the baby was shot dead by staff from the Wildlife and national parks organization in Malaysia.
