Syrian Mother Arrested for Throwing Newborn in Garbage Container

The Internal Security Forces arrested 35-year-old Syrian mother on Wednesday after dumping her newborn baby a year earlier into a waste container on al-Dora highway, the National News Agency reported Wednesday.

“On the basis of information available to the Tripoli Judicial Unit, the police were able to arrest Syrian national S.H. for throwing out on 22/6/2016 her newborn baby girl into a dumpster in al-Dora area. The baby was thrown out the same day she was born,” an ISF statement said.

“The woman has admitted after interrogations that she got rid of her child because it was the result of an illicit relationship. Her mother and sister have helped her throughout the process,” it added.

“The two women were also arrested for taking part in the crime of throwing the baby which has not been found as yet,” added the statement.

The related judicial authorities continue investigations into the crime.
