Wanita baru 3 hari nikah, bekas suami direman kes tanam janin

A newlywed woman, married for just three days, was detained for four days to assist the investigation under Section 318 of the Offences Against the Person Act, for hiding the birth of a baby by disposing of the body in a difficult manner. The incident occurred in Kuala Krai, where the body of a five-month-old infant was found buried at the side of a house.

The woman's former husband, aged 32 and also a construction worker, was also detained in the probe. The woman gave herself up at the IPD Kuala Krai around 10:30 pm on Sunday, along with her former spouse. The order for the detention of the 30-year-old woman was issued by Magistrate Nik Mohd Fadli Nik Azlan at the Magistrate's Court in Pasir Puteh.

Both the suspects were detained until Thursday to assist the investigation under Section 318 of the Offences Against the Person Act for hiding the birth by disposing of the body in a difficult manner. Previously, the police received a report of the discovery of a five-month-old infant buried at the side of a house in the Rancangan Pemulihan Tanah Batu Mengkebang area, believed to have occurred in 2024.

The infant's death was believed to be the result of an extramarital affair the woman had with her ex-husband after he divorced her. His actions were exposed following a disagreement with his ex-wife that led to a police report.
