A CASE of concealment of birth is being investigated by police in the Otjozondjupa Region after a foetus was discovered dumped at the Welcome to Grootfontein board on Friday.
The police indicated that the unknown suspect dumped the foetus in the bushes at an unknown time and that four brown tablets were also found on the scene.
In Namibia, any person who disposes of the dead body of any child with intent to conceal the fact of its birth, whether the child died before, during or after birth, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding two hundred rand or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding three years.
Police investigation into the matter continues.
