Three Africans travelling by a taxi outside the Saudi capital were stopped by police for identify check. When they were told to step out of the car, one of them ran away but was chased and captured.
The incident made them more suspicious and prompted them to search a large travel bag in their possession.
“When they opened it, they found a large quantity of clothes…when they searched the clothes, they found a dead new born baby,” the Arabic language daily Alriyadh said in a report from Riyadh.
It said one man told police the baby is his son and he was taking him to bury him outside the capital because he and his wife were staying in the Gulf Kingdom illegally.
