  "account": "Nur Ain Adilin Mohd Rofiza, a 23-year-old female food vendor, has been sentenced to three months in prison and fined RM5,000 after pleading guilty to concealing the birth of her infant by disposing of the baby's body in a septic tank. The court, led by Judge Nur Athirah Hashim, also ordered her to serve an additional five months in prison if she fails to pay the fine. The incident occurred around 10 pm on October 15th near the Awam Kos Rendah public housing complex in Padang Setengge. The defendant is alleged to have committed this crime on October 15th, committing an offense under Section 318 of the Penal Code, which took place around 10 pm. Her lawyer, Yayasan Bantuan Guaman Kebangsaan (YBGK) attorney Nor Aziah Bunawan, had requested a minimum sentence of a fine, considering her youth and the fact that her actions were likely due to panic at the time. However, Deputy Prosecutor Nur Anith Nabilah Rusli sought imprisonment, citing the humanity factor, as the defendant's actions involved the baby herself and the need to teach a lesson to the community. The police chief of Hulu Terengganu, Sharudin Abdul Wahab, in a statement, revealed that a headless baby and a severed hand were found in a septic tank in the Kampung Padang Setengge housing area on October 16th. The autopsy confirmed that the baby was only a month old, but the sex and whether the baby was alive or dead at the time of birth could not be determined.",
