TODDLER-RUDD 2 LAST

Meanwhile, Victorian Premier John Brumby has briefed
Indian High Commissioner Sujatha Singh about the "deeply
distressing" death of the toddler.
Brumby told Singh that no stone would be left unturned in
the investigation into the death.
The Premier said he was briefed about the matter last
night, adding that he and his family found the case deeply
distressing.
"Any death of a child is a terrible, terrible tragedy.
The death of a child so young is a terrible, unthinkable
tragedy," he said. "We hope this crime can be solved and
resolved as soon as possible."
Brumby said it was important that people do not jump to
conclusion about the death at this time.
The Premier said he had been kept regularly briefed by
police, who have decided to treat the case as a homicide.
"Every possible police resource is being devoted," Brumby
said. "There are no visible signs of the cause of death at
this stage ... but I think it's very important that no one
jumps to conclusions."
"The most important thing is that we find the cause of
death and bring those responsible to justice and I can only
repeat from the point of view of the government and the police
force in Victoria, every single resource is being devoted to
this effort." PTI
