A woman who had stabbed her newborn child to death within hours of delivery and hid the body in a refrigerator was taken into custody by Sapugaskanda police today.

It is alleged that the woman who complained of a stomachache had gone to the toilet and had delivered the child there. When her husband noticed the blood stains in the refrigerator he had opened it to find a female infant in it and had informed the police about it.

Mother and child were admitted to Ragama hospital where the child was pronounced dead.

The 37 year old woman is a mother of two children and her husband a trishaw driver.

Ooh, these are not due to 'Puerperal psychosis', but most of the harassment happening in our country due to Alcohol usage of men.

As she has delivered the baby on her own, possibility she lost a mind in the process that led her to this crime.

Whatever the reason, this is uncivilized. As Shanthi stated how many mothers are suffering without children?. If she had been able to hide her pregnancy even from her husband, she could have given the child for adoption. At last poor infant paid the penalty for others inhumanity.

Even animals do care their cubs more than human.

Perhaps this may be due to a mental illness called “Puerperal psychosis” This can happen to anyone and medically with no obvious reason why it should happen. So, coming to a conclusion is too early.
