TWO newborn babies died of suffocation in less than a month in the Omusati region.<\/p>\n

At Ongali village on Sunday, four-day-old Ndamona Ndaindila Salom’s mother woke up and found her baby lying dead next to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is alleged that the baby was sleeping with the biological mother and when the mother woke up in the morning the baby had already passed on,\u201d crime investigation coordinator Deputy Commissioner Moses Simaho said, adding that the baby was not sick at the time of death.<\/p>\n

On 11 May, one-month-old Helena Titus died at Oshitalamesho village. The baby was put to bed after the mother had breastfed her. Simaho stated a post mortem confirmed that the cause of death was suffocation.<\/p>\n
