Judge to decide future of 'Baby 81'
The future of the tsunami survivor known as “Baby 81” is to be decided at a court hearing, with only one couple having lodged a formal custody petition out of nine original claimants.
“I believe in God, and I am sure my baby will be given to me,” said Murugupillai Jeyarajah, who with his wife Jenita submitted a custody claim for the boy who was found alone after the December 26 tsunami struck the eastern town of Kalmunai.
