Lover held over disposal of baby born to student at her hostel toilet
Dungun police chief Nik Ab Halim Nik Mat says the mechanic has been remanded for four days to assist in investigations.
A 19-year-old female student has been remanded for four days to help investigate a case in Dungun, involving the disposal of her baby born at the hostel toilet on September 9. The police chief, Nik Ab Halim Nik Mat, stated that the 24-year-old mechanic, believed to be the student's boyfriend, was arrested at Jalan Pantai Teluk Lipat, Dungun, last night.
The female student gave birth to the baby in the hostel toilet around 5pm without realizing she was pregnant. The newborn died shortly after birth. The student is suspected to have kept the baby's body in her locker, unaware of her roommate's presence, and contacted her boyfriend for assistance in secretly burying the remains. The student was initially detained at the Dungun police headquarters but was later released on police bail due to health concerns.
