A 23-year-old woman has been arrested in Terengganu following the discovery of a headless baby's body in a drain, according to police reports. The arrest came after the body was found in Padang Setengge, Kuala Berang, Hulu Terengganu, and the case was identified within 24 hours. Superintendent Sharudin Abdul Wahab of the Hulu Terengganu district police confirmed that the woman was taken into custody at her home on October 17, 2026, at 3:30pm to aid the investigation under Section 318 of the Penal Code.
The arrest was deemed necessary to establish the birth and the suspect's alleged involvement in the case. A post-mortem conducted by a forensic pathologist at Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital on October 18, 2026, revealed that the baby was full-term and had been deceased for over 24 hours prior to examination. However, the cause of death could not be determined, nor could the baby's sex be identified.
The source states that the baby's body was reportedly discovered by a woman while washing clothes in the residential area.
