A woman collecting recyclables discovered the three-day-old’s body stuffed into a rubbish bag among a heap of trash along Chao Fa West Road, said Sub Lt Suporn Muangkai of the Wichit Police. “Wan Rattanawilai, 57, told us that she was on her bike collecting recyclables along the road. When she arrived at a garbage heap on Chao Fa West Road, she saw a big blue bag. Unzipping it, she found the body of the infant inside,” Sub Lt Suporn said. “The baby girl had bruises all over her body and was dressed in a pink shirt and covered with a blue towel,” he said. Officers believe the baby died only hours before being discovered. Police are continuing their investigation into the case.

JetsetBkk Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Indeed. It doesn't get much worse than this. RIP poor little mite and I hope the mother gets the help she needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissChris Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Tragic. Who knows? Mother may not have had money for a funeral. It is so sad when babies end up like this. Often as a result of panic. Bruises don't necessarily indicate anything sinister - they can be a normal artefact after death. I am prepared to contribute to a better ending for this little one if anyone is taking up a collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
