Woman picked up to assist Tasik Gelugor abandoned baby case

KEPALA BATAS: Police have arrested a woman who was believed to have abetted her daughter in abandoning a newborn baby girl along the sidewalk of Masjid Lama Ara Kuda in Tasik Gelugor here.

Seberang Perai Utara police chief Assistant Commissioner Noorzainy Mohd Noor said police's quick action had led to the arrest of the 57-year-old woman in Kulim, Kedah at about at about 1am on Wednesday.

“Based on preliminary investigations, the woman and her 28-year-old daughter, had left the baby at the mosque area. The younger woman then sought treatment at a private clinic in Kulim,” he said.

He said the doctor who treated that the woman found that the umbilical cord was still in her womb and referred that case to a government hospital.

Norzainy said the woman who was receiving treatment at the Kulim Hospital would be remanded after being discharged from the hospital. -– Bernama
