Police at Vosman are looking for a woman who threw what is believed to have been a stillborn infant at a dumping site. The infant, a baby boy was found by three men at the dumping site, next to Schoongezicht in Witbank, on 20 May 2019.
Police received a call around 11:00, stating that there was an infant in a plastic bag at the dumping site and they responded swiftly. On arrival they found the trio who explained that they were looking for scrap metal to salvage for reselling. While they were busy searching they then came across a smelly plastic bag and upon opening it they found the infant.
A case of concealment of birth was opened.
Anyone with information that may assist police in tracing the biological mother of the infant, is urged to contact Capt Mashilo on 082 685 6724 or the SAPS Crime Stop number 08600 10111
An earnest appeal is made to the community to stop dumping and abandoning newly born babies, they should instead take them to places of safety or contact local social workers or relevant institutions for assistance.
