Shocking: Hungarian woman tries to flush newborn baby down the toilet
Change language:
A woman tried to flush her newborn baby down the toilet in the town of Kiskunfélegyháza, Bács-Kiskun County, on Saturday. The 33-year-old woman, who has mental health and alcohol problems, previously denied being pregnant, but that night she became ill, had contractions and began bleeding heavily. The baby was taken out of the toilet by paramedics, but it showed no signs of life. Police are investigating manslaughter.
A pregnancy kept in secret
The young woman was living in the home of her acquaintances. The owner of the house, István Szabó, took her as his own daughter. The man’s carer also lived in the house, and although they suspected that she was pregnant, she denied it all along. At 11 pm on Saturday night, however, she fell ill, had contractions and began bleeding heavily, so she ran to the bathroom, Index.hu writes.
At first, the caretaker did not see what the young woman was up to in the bathroom. She only saw that she had her pants pulled down and blood was covering both the woman and the bathtub.
Not a rag but a baby
