According to the amended charges, Ismanira is alleged to have neglected Zayn Rayyan, 6, in a manner likely to cause physical harm. On Dec 6, 2023, Zayn Rayyan was found dead in a stream near the Idaman Apartment area, Damansara Damai, at 10pm. On Oct 31, Judge Dr Syahliza Warnoh found the mother of two guilty and sentenced her to five years in prison. She ordered the woman to be taken to the Kajang Women's Prison immediately after rejecting an application to suspend her sentence pending an appeal at the High Court. She said the accused failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances that would justify suspending the sentence pending an appeal in the High Court.
