KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Reporters who descended on the usually quiet Bangsar home of a kidnapped British toddler identified only as Freddie were met with a wall of silence.
Sarah Joseph, the 20-month-old toddler's mother, was earlier seen standing in front of the house with a handful of friends and family members.
She retreated into the house when she saw the reporters approaching. A man then came out and told the reporters gathered outside to leave.
Photographers were warned that they would risk damage to their cameras as well as being sued should they try to photograph the house.
Freddie was taken at about 6.20pm while he was having dinner with his mother on the porch of their house.
A family friend, who refused to be named, said the closed circuit television (CCTV) recording taken from a neighbour's house showed the white car which is believed to have been driven by the alleged kidnappers circling the area several times before the incident.
“The recording showed the car passing by the house, driving back down and later parked behind another vehicle before the boy was taken,” he said.
“How could anyone do such a thing?”
When asked about the boy’s mother, the family friend said: “You can fill in the blanks”.
It is understood that she is a teacher at a private school.
As the reporters and photographers left, only family members and friends were seen walking in and around the house — in complete silence — as the incident has shocked the neighbourhood.
Several plainclothes policemen were also seen milling around the house.
The family friend pleaded: “Please help push this out as much as you can, please do whatever you can to get Freddie back.
“We just want Freddie back, that’s it.”
Social media has been buzzing about the incident. A twitpic of Freddie accompanied with a message has been widely shared.
It reads: URGENT: Please share! Freddy (20 months old) was kidnapped on Jalan Terasek 7 at approximately before 6pm. Suspects in a White Toyota Camry BKP 4386. If you have any info,
