The judiciary on Wednesday ordered the arrest of the owner of a nursery school in the Ajaltoun area in connection with last week's mysterious death of a child at the facility.

Several TV networks said Mount Lebanon's prosecutor ordered the arrest of the Clarina et Zoe daycare's owner over the death of the toddler Elio Salloum.

The doors of the institute were also sealed with red wax at the request of Health Minister Wael Abou Faour, whose ministry has jurisdiction over nurseries.

The minister had ordered a probe into the case on Monday.

Four-month-old Elio was announced dead on arrival at Saint George hospital in Ajaltoun.

The cause and date of death are still unknown.

On Friday, Abou Faour referred to the Public Prosecution the case of the death of the child Jana Hussein Deeb at Dima daycare in Beirut.

She died on March 16 in mysterious circumstances at the daycare.

Her family filed a complaint to the Health Ministry to tackle the case.
