Two Foetuses Found In KL In Less Than 24 Hour

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 (Bernama) -- Two aborted foetuses were found in separate locations in the city today.

One was found at a sewerage plant in Kepong and the other behind a private clinic in Jalan Ipoh.

The first foetus, believed to be five months old, was found by an Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) technician when he was inspecting the plant at 11.05am.

Sentul police chief ACP Zakaria Pagan when contacted said initial investigations on the foetus found that it was a girl with injuries in the back of the head, besides a broken left leg.

He said the foetus was believed to been washed through a sewer pipe from the nearby area about 12 hours ago.

Zakaria said the second foetus, on the other hand, was found by a boy, who then notified a nearby hawker, Nurmaini Rafiee, 50, at about 2.30pm.

"When I arrived at the scene and saw that foetus, I immediately alerted the police patrol unit who were passing the area," Nurmaini told reporters at the scene.

Dang Wangi police chief ACP Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman when contacted, confirmed the discovery of the second foetus.

"The foetus, however, had decayed and we could not determine its physical form," he said.

Both foetuses were taken to Kuala Lumpur Hospital for post mortem.
