A lady has been arrested in the PK8 neighborhood in Douala for allegedly throwing her one-day-old baby in a stream on January 13, 2024. Investigations led to the arrest of the newborn's grandmother who allegedly encouraged her daughter to commit the act which led to the drowning of the baby. 'The baby was put in a bag and covered with clothes. The lady proceeded to throw the bag into the stream and quietly left. No one could suspect it was a baby. It was the next day that I went in and searched the content of the bag before discovering the baby who had suffocated and died,' explained a local inhabitant. When the news went viral, the population stormed the residence of the lady with the dead baby. Alerted, forces of law and order arrived the scene and arrested the accused women. The baby's remains have been buried. Source: Cameroon News Agency
