Teen mother admits 'stolen' baby died, disposed of

The picture of the "missing" baby boy posted on the Facebook page of Bang Luang police station in Nakhon Pathom on Feb 9, before the teenage mother told police that she dropped the dead baby in a river.

A teenage mother who earlier claimed her 8-month-old baby was kidnapped in Nakhon Pathom province has now told police she accidentally dropped the child and it died of its injuries, and she dumped the body in a river.

Pol Gen Surachate Hakparn said on Monday that the 17-year-old  mother told interrogators on Sunday night that she unintentionally dropped her baby to the ground, and it died. She was left in shock, panicked and  dropped the dead baby into the Tha Chin River, which was about 100 metres away from her husband's home.
