SHAH ALAM – Memories from nearly five years ago once again evoke a deep sense of longing for Ismanira Abdul Manaf, the mother of the late Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, a six-year-old autistic child who was tragically murdered earlier this month.
In her latest Facebook status posted last night, Ismanira, shared her emotions using two sad emojis.

"Be blessed in Allah's heaven," she posted.
On Dec 6, the six-year-old victim was found dead in a river near the apartment area around 10pm.
