Newborn’s body found abandoned in a Carton
The body of a newborn was discovered abandoned at a garbage site in Tassia, Embakasi constituency, on Tuesday evening.
The baby’s body had been covered in a leso and placed inside a carton that was found at the garbage site.
The body was discovered by a beggar who collects cartons and other items from garbage sites for sale.
A barber working at a nearby shopping centre said, “The carton must have been dropped in the wee hours of the morning.”
It is unknown whether the baby, whose age was approximated to be about a week old, died before being abandoned at the garbage site.
Shocked residents condemned the incident and called on police to investigate the matter.
