Mom, newborn die at home

JAKARTA: Siti Martiah, 22, and her newborn baby were found dead by neighbors in Sukapura subdistrict, Cilincing, North Jakarta on Tuesday afternoon.

Jakarta Police reported on Wednesday that the woman had hemorrhaged after giving birth. She had given birth unassisted by neighbors or a midwife. The baby apparently died during delivery.

Neighbors said Siti Martiah lived alone in the house. They became suspicious when the employee of a private company did not come out of the house as usual in the day.

The neighbors broke into the house at about 5 p.m. and discovered the woman and baby. -- Antara
