Teenager stabs her newborn baby boy in the throat and dumps his body to hide her situation from her family
A 19-year-old new mum and her newborn son are in hospital following a traumatic birth.
The baby was born in Anambra yesterday, May 22, to the teen mum who had hidden her pregnancy from her family.
The young mum reportedly gave birth when no one was at home and allegedly stabbed the baby in the throat. She then took him and dumped in the gutter.
However, a child who saw her raised alarm and residents picked up the child and traced the mother.
They found her alone at home, bleeding.
Both mother and child were rushed to the hospital, according to Chinenye Henrietta who shared the story and video on Facebook.
While some claim the woman stabbed the baby intentionally to get rid of him, other witnesses have claimed that it was a mistake. They said the girl, while trying to cut the placenta, mistakenly stabbed herself in her lady parts and also mistakenly slashed the baby’s throat.
No arrests have been made.
