A 20-year-old woman identified only as Theresa has been arrested while trying to throw away her new born baby in Kuchi Dena, a slum in Gwarinpa. It was learnt that the suspect’s neighbours became suspicious about her and raised an alarm when they saw her behaving suspiciously at about 2.00p.m. yesterday.
Sources said the neighbours who became curious seeing that her pregnancy had almost disappeared, suspected that she might have delivered herself of the baby and killed it.
A source, which pleaded anonymity, said they were inquisitive and sought to know the content of a bucket she was carrying because the suspect was alleged to be a sex worker.
