Woman charged after newborn found dead in wooded area in Halifax released on bail
Ramandeep Kaur faces charges including disposing of the body of a child with the intent to conceal the fact it had been delivered, offering an indignity to a dead body.
A Halifax woman, Ramandeep Kaur, 27, has been granted bail after being charged with concealing the body of a newborn and other related offenses, according to prosecutors. Kaur appeared in a Halifax courtroom on Thursday morning, alongside her husband, Sukhpreet Singh, who faces the same charges and remains in custody. The charges stem from the death of a newborn baby in May, whose remains were discovered in a wooded area near Goodwood, Nova Scotia, in a search conducted this past spring.
Kaur was released on a $6,000 surety, with the judge imposing strict conditions, including residing with her surety in Halifax, attending court as directed, remaining in Nova Scotia, and reporting weekly to Halifax Regional Police. She must also surrender her passport and Indian national identity card to the police. Kaur and Singh are set to return to court on October 14.
