Divorced couple nabbed over foetus buried next to house

Police apprehended a divorced couple in Kuala Krai, Kelantan, for allegedly burying an aborted foetus next to their residence. The incident occurred roughly two years ago. Upon turning themselves in at the Kuala Krai police headquarters around 10:30pm the previous night, the man and woman were promptly arrested. The pregnant woman, a 32-year-old ex-wife, is accused of burying the foetus to keep her family unaware of the situation.

The man, a 30-year-old construction worker, had filed a police report against her earlier in the day, alleging the crime. It was revealed that the couple, who had three children together, were already divorced when the woman had an affair and conceived the child. She subsequently had the foetus aborted during the fifth month of pregnancy and concealed it. The ex-husband only chose to report the incident after a recent conflict with his ex-wife.
