A migrant worker flying between two countries within Africa, who apparently gave birth during the flight, threw the newborn in the toilet trash can. When airport staff patrolled the plane after the flight, they discovered the newborn and arrested the 20-year-old young mother for questioning.
The staff of the airport in the state of Mauritius in Africa, discovered to his amazement a newborn baby abandoned in the trash can of a toilet in one of the planes. A 20-year-old from the state of Madagascar, the suspect who gave birth while flying and dumped him – was arrested.
An Air Mauritius plane, arriving from Madagascar, landed at Sir Sivsagor Ramgulam International Airport on 1 January. Airport cops discovered the baby while inspecting the plane at a routine customs check. Officials suspected an unusual incident had occurred on the last flight made by the plane after finding blood-stained toilet paper.
They immediately led the baby to a public hospital for treatment. The woman suspected as the boy’s mother, who initially denied the boy was hers, had to undergo a medical examination that confirmed she had just given birth. She was placed under police surveillance at the hospital. The BBC reports that she and the baby are feeling well.
The woman who came from Madagascar to Mauritius through a two-year work permit will be questioned after discharge from the hospital and charged with abandonment of a newborn.
