Published

A dustman stumbled across a dead infant as he was emptying a garbage bin in Sharjah on Saturday, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

The man found the body inside a garbage bag dumped inside the bin in Sajaa industrial area and informed the police.

Police said the infant, weighing around 3 kg, has been sent to the coroner to identify the cause of death, according to the Arabic language daily Alittihad.

Sharjah police also arrested a Filipino who brought a new born baby to Al Qassimi Hospital for treatment but had no birth documents.

Alittihad said the Filipino confessed to having an illicit affair with a Filipina, adding that police intend to charge the couple with adultery.

“The baby would remain at hospital for some period of time before he is moved to the social care centre in the emirate,” it said.

    Where is this world heading to? People are behaving worse than animals with absolutely no feelings other than lust.

    well, the couple has been identified to have an illicit affair, and taking the baby to a hospital clearly shows that they care for the child, then why not provide them with the option to marry after their punishment has been completed? This is only in the best interest of the child, as he gets to grow up with his natural parents.
