The 23-year-old woman accused of smothering her newborn baby and hurling the body wrapped in a plastic cover on the road from her apartment at Panamppilly Nagar in Kochi in Kerala was shifted from the General Hospital, Ernakulam to the intensive care unit (ICU) of a private hospital in Kochi on May 3 midnight after her health deteriorated.
She was kept under medical observation in the general hospital overnight on May 3 considering her fragile health after having delivered the baby only in the morning. However, she reportedly developed complications around midnight and was shifted to a private hospital. She remains admitted in the ICU and is under the care of the Gynaecology department, said hospital sources.
The turn of events has further delayed the police formalities and her interrogation. The accused will now be questioned based only on medical reports regarding her fitness to undergo interrogation.
