Corpse of infant with umbilical cord twisted and detached by hand!

Though babies are brought into this world, we hear of various actions taken by some parents who detest bringing them up. An incident where an infant born was inhumanely tossed aside was reported from

Kadawatha area yesterday.

A dead body of an infant was found by police yesterday (17) Nikini Full Moon Day from the Galahena Playground in Ganemulla Road, Kadawatha with the umbilical cord of the baby twisted and severed by hand. A person who had come to the playground last morning for a round of physical exercises had detected the body and had notified the police. The police say that the umbilical cord of this well-formed body of the infant had been twisted and detached and that the body enclosed in a black-coloured Tulip bag which had been brought and dumped here. The police further was of the opinion that this most likely could be a case of homicide. This dead body which had been placed at an uncleared spot in the playground covered with shrubs had been tampered by dogs when the body was noticed. The Mahara, Kadawatha Acting Magistrate Mr. Sunanda Herath had visited this location yesterday and had conducted the magisterial enquiry and instructed that the body be transported to the Ragama Hospital mortuary.
