Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - A woman complaining of excessive
bleeding to a doctor at a hospital in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has
admitted giving birth recently and accidentally flushing her
newborn baby down the toilet.
Brickfields OCPD Asst Comm Wan Abdul Bari Wan Abdul Khalid said
the 28-year-old unmarried woman was brought by her family members
to the Universiti Malaya Medical Centre at 5am on Saturday after
she complained of bleeding.
"A doctor who checked the woman suspected that she had given
birth recently," he said.
After the doctor alerted the police, the woman admitted to
having been seven months pregnant and giving birth prematurely at
her home in Taman Seri Sentosa, Jalan Klang Lama.
"She claimed that the child fell into the toilet and was
accidentally flushed down," ACP Wan Bari said.
Police have classified the case under Section 318 of the Penal
Code for concealment of a dead baby.
