Woman accused of killing newborn

TANGERANG: Police were investigating on Friday a 22-year-old
woman accused of killing her newborn baby at her rental house in
Kampung Pasir, Pasir Jaya subdistrict, Tangerang municipality.

Tangerang Police chief Adj. Comr. Haru Abimanyu said officers
were also looking for the baby's father, who is not married to
the mother.

The woman told reporters the baby's father was in Bandar
Lampung, Lampung province.

She said she was ashamed of being a single mother and that she
could not afford to care for the baby.

Neighbors heard the baby crying early on Friday and went to
investigate. The woman took a long time to answer the door, and
when they entered the house the neighbors found the baby's body
in a cardboard box. -- Antara
