Adungosi police officers in Teso south sub county, Busia County are holding in custody a middle aged woman after she allegedly gave birth and abandoned the baby in a sugarcane plantation.
The one day old baby boy was discovered by a neighbor Chrispinus Ongaria in his sugarcane farm Monday morning, “I was going to the farm with my son when we heard a baby crying from my sugarcane plantation. When we moved closer we discovered that it was a one day old baby boy who had been wrapped in an old cloth.”
They informed other neighbors and positively identified the mother because she was pregnant and she could not tell them where the baby was.
The baby was taken to hospital and is in good condition while the woman is expected to be arraigned in court once the police officers conclude their investigations.
