Girl carries friend's dead baby in school bag

In a shocking incident, a 16-year-old unknowingly carried her school friend's knapsack with a dead newborn inside for 17 hours in Malaysia.

The girl who delivered a baby girl in the school's hostel, urged her classmate to keep the bag safely with her. The 16-year-old girl, unaware of the contents in the school bag, kept it with her and went about the day's normal activities, reports Star/Asia News Network.

When the girl who had delivered the baby went to a medical centre for a check-up, the personnel realised after an internal examination that the student had just given birth to a baby. They informed the school authorities and involved the police. When the girl revealed where she had kept the dead newborn, she spilled it all.

The police officials recovered the knapsack from the friend's possession. She was totally traumatised when she learned that she had been carrying around a bag containing a dead baby, the network reported.

The police is still investigating the cause of the infant's death and were on the lookout for the newborn's father so they could charge him with having an intimate relationship with a minor.
