Mother gives birth in airport toilet, strangles baby & then takes next flight out

OutlawPete

Seems she was trying to get out of Dubai and if she hadn't gone into labour before her flight, all would have been well and the baby would be alive.

Fucking backward countries need to get their heads out of their arses in this world.

Mother gives birth in airport toilet, strangles the baby, dumps its corpse in a bin... then catches flight out.

A woman gave birth in an airport toilet before strangling the newborn baby and dumping its tiny corpse in a rubbish bin.

The mother - believed to be Ethiopian and in her thirties - caught a flight before the infant's body was discovered by a cleaner at Dubai International Airport.

She was identified using security camera footage and is being hunted by police.

The woman allegedly severed the baby boy's umbilical cord with her bare hands and strangled him with a cloth before dumping him.

The newborn baby was discovered still alive in a rubbish bin in a women's toilet at Dubai International Airport

The infant was discovered when a woman passenger informed one of the airport's cleaners about a pool of blood in the bathroom.

Traces of blood led to the bin where the baby was found, soaked in blood, tied up with his umbilical cord in a tightly wrapped plastic bag.

The boy was still gasping for breath but a rescue team and volunteers could not revive him.
'At around 3.35am I went to the toilet to clean up the blood around a toilet bowl,' the cleaner told the Khaleej Times newspaper.

'After that I decided to empty the waste bin which was covered with paper rolls.

'When I lifted it I found it to be a little heavier, so I got curious and started removing the tissue papers.

'I was stunned to see a baby all blue on the face and gasping for breath.'

It is unclear whether the woman was a UAE resident, tourist or passenger in transit.

A security source said it appeared the woman had strangled the infant, whose body was undergoing further tests.

'Most likely the woman wanted to get rid of the baby as it was a child outside wedlock,' said the source. 'It seems that the woman had intended to leave the UAE before the delivery but was faced with a different reality in the airport.'

Having a sexual relationship or a child outside wedlock are criminal offences in the UAE that carry sentences of up to three years in prison.
Many unmarried women who become pregnant choose either to leave the country or abandon the youngster.

A total of 17 children were abandoned in the first eight months of 2008, according to the most recent statistics available from Dubai's Ministry of Social Affairs.

It is not known how many newborns are killed or die after being abandoned.

Never thought there were places in the year 2010 that are still more backward than Ireland of the 50's.

Society here had the magdalene laundries, religon

Shocking stuff.

What's the chances this was an act of desperation to avoid dealing with backwards religious laws.

This is one of those stories that truly leaves you lost for words. A defenseless little infant disposed of like a piece of rubbish. God help humanity is all I can say really.

Had indeed, and I'm well aware of it. But these muppets in the UAE are still partying like its 1699. Shows that in both cases religion is detrimental to the advancement of society as a whole.

Hard to imagine someone doing that. Putting their own life ahead of their little babies like that. If it was a choice of killing one of my kids or allowing myself to be killed, id happily walk to the gallows.

Mr. Presentable

How is it the fault of the country she lived in? She was immoral by the laws of her land, and murdered a baby.

It's always someone else's fault.

Oh, and had it happened here she would have been absolved on "mental health" grounds.

Gloomtastic!

I remember working in an office when a colleague announced she was pregnant and was fired the same day. 1985 I believe in London. Things have moved on considerably since then, thank goodness.

Not all of the world moves at the same pace as us 'westerners'. They will eventually and they will look back at themselves like we do and feel shame.

chicken fingers

Don´t know why anybody would ever want to go to the absolute backwards shiite hole that is the UAE.... Pointless "country", ridiculous islam-based laws, totalitarian dump.
3 years ago I was offered more than twice my salary to transfer there with work and I told them to take a short walk off a long pier.

Yep, good thing no people are driven to extremes in similar circumstances by other religions...

Sickening to hear. All I can think about is the defenseless baby being killed. The woman should be thrown to the wolves, or I suppose the hyenas

Its entirely fucked up, however the woman may have been irrational. As she hasn't been caught, theres only speculation as to regards her motives.

Seriously those laws need to be changed! Very unfair. The mother could just have left the country with the baby or at least kept the child alive! Horrible thing to do to a new born child. How many people long for one and a woman like that goes on to do what she did, is beyond me. She will probably get prosecuted either way. Shame though, its not a crime to have sex/baby outside of wedlock anywhere else except those countries. Crazy. Could have been another reason for it happening though...something more serious you wouldn't know.

Babies make lots of noise. The baby would have been found a lot quicker and an alert would have been raised much sooner.
