A WOMAN who was about to give birth rushed to a hotel toilet and purportedly flushed her newborn baby down before calmly walking away.
Harian Metro reported that her image was captured on CCTV when she entered the hotel at Jalan Macalister in George Town.
In the CCTV footage, the woman, in her 20s, could be seen heading towards the toilet at 7pm but the incident was only discovered by a cleaner a few hours later.
According to a source, the cleaner saw drops of blood in the toilet bowl and floor and informed the hotel management.
“The management reported the incident to police and a team rushed to the scene.
“Police have not ruled out the possibility that that the suspect flushed the body of her baby to dispose of any evidence,” said the source.
According to the source, the toilet on the first floor was barely used and the woman had gone to several other toilets as blood was found there as well.
The baby's body has not been found.
