Woman to be charged for dumping fetus

Jun 17, 2012 News

Criminal charges are likely to be instituted against the woman who allegedly dumped her fetus in a hotel garbage bin Wednesday last. This is according to a senior police officer attached to the Brickdam police station. The officer said that the police will charge the woman based on the advice given by the Director of Public Prosecutions. Minister of Human services Dr Jennifer Webster today stated that probation officials have been closely following the case.  She said that in such cases the Ministry makes provision for the individuals involved to receive counseling. Early Wednesday morning police were called in to a city hotel after an employee who was about to empty the bin discovered the fetus. After the police arrived a man who had visited the woman at the hotel made claims that his reputed wife may have been responsible for the act. The man related to the investigators that the woman may have committed the act following a misunderstanding they had when she threatened to abort their unborn child. He however noted that he did not believe that his reputed wife would have followed through on her threats. According to sources close to the case the woman’s reputed husband has since been arrested and released from police custody. The police are still seeking the woman whom they were told has fled to Bartica. Investigations are ongoing
