A 26-year-old Indonesian maid was arrested in Kuala Lumpur after she confessed to slaying her newborn baby with a pair of scissors.
Abdul Rashid Abdul Wahab, Kajang OCPD Asst Comm said the woman was taken to the Serdang Hospital at around midnight on Sunday, March 23rd, 2014 after she complained of severe pain in her abdomen.
“Her employers, who were unaware that she had just given birth in a room in their house, brought her to the hospital to seek medical attention.
“After close inspection by the doctors, the maid admitted to delivering a baby a few hours ago,” ACP Abdul Rashid said.
He said that a police report was lodged after the maid told the doctors that she had flushed the newborn baby down a toilet in her employers’ house.
“However, the forensics team found no traces of the newborn in the toilet. The team eventually found the dead baby in a room along with a pair of scissors.
“The maid then admitted to using the scissors to slit the baby’s throat,” he said.
The maid’s employers declined to be interviewed when met at their Taman Kajang Baru residence where the woman had worked for over two years.
