The body of a poor little baby boy was found after he was abandoned in a plastic bag at a designated rubbish dump in Taipan, Inanam, Sabah.
A passerby, 28-year-old Hassanudin Sabang, had found the body as he was heading to the dumpsite to throw out some trash and noticed something strange in the plastic bag.
“I thought it was a doll, but it was a baby. I tried to examine the plastic bag as there were splatters of blood on it. I picked up the plastic bag and suddenly, the body of the baby with his umbilical cord still intact fell out. I immediately asked some people nearby for help and called the police,” he said as according to myMetro.
He also expressed that he was very saddened by the incident.
“I felt saddened to see the baby being treated like that, because I also have a little month-old baby.”
Kota Kinabalu District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Habibi Majinji confirmed the discovery of the baby.
“An examination of the scene was conducted by a team of medical officers from Queen Elizabeth I Hospital (HQE). The baby’s body has since been taken to HQE for an autopsy and the investigation is still ongoing,” he said.
He also requests anyone with any information regarding the baby to step forward and share it with the authorities at the Kota Kinabalu District Headquarters for further action.
This case is currently being investigated under Section 318 of the Penal Code for concealing a birth.
May the poor baby’s soul rest in peace.
