KUALA LUMPUR: A 26-year-old Indonesian maid was arrested after she confessed to slaying her newborn baby with a pair of scissors.

“Her employers, who were unaware that she had just given birth in a room in their house, brought her to the hospital to seek medical attention.

“After close inspection by the doctors, the maid admitted to delivering a baby a few hours ago,” ACP Abdul Rashid said. He said that a police report was lodged after the maid told the doctors that she had flushed the newborn baby down a toilet in her employers’ house.

“However, the forensics team found no traces of the newborn in the toilet. The team eventually found the dead baby in a room along with a pair of scissors.

ACP Abdul Rashid added that the child’s father, a Nepalese national, was unavailable to have his statement recorded as he had returned to his country.

The maid’s employers declined to be interviewed when met at their Taman Kajang Baru residence where the woman had worked for over two years.
