Young Couple Arrested for Letting Newborn Baby Eaten by Ants to Death

A young couple has been arrested for killing their newborn baby boy. The couple lives in a boarding house in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental where they are studying as college students.

Police officers from the same city have come to arrest this young couple after the boarding house’s land lady called for an immediate help. After their prompt response, they have found out that the couple has left their newborn baby boy to die at a banana plantation just at the back of their boarding house.

It has been said that the couple was keeping the pregnancy from their parents. This has led them to abandoning their own child because of the thought that they are not responsible enough to raise a baby since they are still studying.

They have succeeded in keeping the pregnancy on their own. The pregnancy was not even made known to their peers and has only come to their knowledge when the incident took place. The young lady even gave birth at the comfort room to conceal the incident.

However, their landlady has found out and has called the authorities to seek help. But it was too late to save the baby as the authorities have found him already dead on a banana plantation. The baby is even said to be crowded with ants.

Though efforts have been made to bring the baby to the hospital for revival, they have failed and the baby has been declared dead.

The mother of the baby has been rushed to the hospital too because she needs medical attention after giving birth in a not so suitable environment. She is recovering but has been put on hospital arrest. The baby’s father on the other hand has been jailed. Because of this saddening incident, the couple has been charged with infanticide.
