Airport employee made shock discovery – found newborn baby in the trash at the toilet

A 20-year-old woman from Madagascar is suspected and arrested for giving birth and leaving her newborn son in the trash at an airplane toilet, writes BBC.

The birth is said to have taken place on an Air Mauritius flight from Madagascar to Mauritius on 1 January.

It was an employee at the airport Sir Seewoosagur Romgoolam in Mauritius who made the shock discovery when they did a routine customs check on the plane after arrival and found the boy in the trash in the toilet.

The baby was transported to a public hospital, and will, according to the circumstances, be in good shape despite his difficult start in life.

The mother of the child initially denied that the boy was hers, but the relationship was confirmed after she was forced to undergo a medical examination which showed that she had just given birth.

The woman, who arrived in Mauritius on a two-year work permit, is accused of leaving a newborn baby, and will be questioned after she is discharged from the hospital.
