THE body of a stillborn baby girl was discovered in a female toilet at the Engine Service Station near CTM-Ongwediva.
NamPol spokesperson Inspector Raimbert Muronga said the discovery was made on Thursday evening by an employee of Engine.
Muronga said the incident was uncovered by one of the staff members at about 20:50 when using the toilet after noticing a smell emanating from the dustbin.
“It is alleged that the body of a stillborn baby, suspected to be from a 4-month pregnancy, was found in a dustbin wrapped in toilet paper in the female toilet room,” he said.
He added that the female staff then informed their colleagues.
Muronga has now appealed to members of the public for assistance and requested any information related to the identification of the culprits.
“This is a worrisome incident that is becoming a trend in society day by day,” he said.
He noted that in most cases, no one takes responsibility to address or bring these types of people to justice.
“These are individuals within our communities doing this, and as a community, we owe it to report these unforeseen acts or individuals among us,” concluded Muronga.
