Police receive separate reports at Bangsar and Kepong.
Police in Malaysia are probing two separate incidents involving newborn babies found in precarious locations. In Bangsar, a seven-month-old baby girl's body was discovered in a rubbish bin. The infant was taken to the forensic unit at Hospital Kuala Lumpur for a post-mortem examination. The case falls under Section 318 of the Penal Code, which pertains to the concealment of a birth through secret disposal of a body.
Meanwhile, Gombak police are investigating the abandonment of a healthy baby boy left in a box beneath the stairs of an apartment in Kepong. The boy was spotted yesterday by a 35-year-old man and has been rushed to the hospital for further monitoring.
