Newborn hidden in bag by student dies

A FORM Five student in Kuala Terengganu who had given birth to a girl in her school’s toilet hid the baby in a bag, resulting in the infant’s death.

The student’s manner of suspiciously clutching her school bag tightly to her chest led her school teacher to suspect something amiss, reported Harian Metro.

She held the bag tightly in her teacher’s car all the way to the clinic and when it was opened by a staff at the clinic, they discovered the newborn baby.

State CID chief Asst Comm Mohd Fauzi Abduri said the teacher took the girl to the clinic after she saw her appearing all pale and sitting in the toilet with her head bent down.

However, he refused to comment further on the matter as it was still being investigated.
