Cabbie finds foetus inside plastic bag

The Star, Tuesday April 22, 2014

KAJANG: A 32-year-old taxi driver found a six-month-old dead foetus inside a plastic bag at Sekolah Agama Rakyat Taman Delima near here on Tuesday.
 
Kajang OCPD Asst Comm Ab Rashid Ab Wahab said the cabbie had just dropped off passengers at a mosque located in the school compound when he noticed the bag.

“He looked inside the bag and saw the dead foetus and contacted the police immediately,” he said.

ACP Ab Rashid added that the baby is believed to have been birthed at least four days ago.

“We are investigating the case under Section 318 of the Penal Code for concealment of birth,” he said.

The remains was sent to Hospital Serdang for an autopsy. 

In an unrelated case, a 4-month-old baby boy died on arrival at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia after being in the care of a babysitter.

Cheras deputy OCDP Supt Abdul Rahim Hamzah said that the child was in his nanny's house in Cheras before he was sent to the hospital around 7.30am Monday.

“So far we have detected no signs of foul play in his death but we are still waiting for the post-mortem results to determine the next course of action,” he said.

Supt Abdul Rahim added that police would record the nanny's statement as soon as they received the pathology report.

“The case has been classified as Sudden Death (SDR) and the nanny will be investigated under Section 33 of the Child Act for leaving the child without supervision,” he said.
