UTM student found dead after giving birth
JOHOR BARU: A Universiti Teknologi Malaysia student was found dead in her campus dormitory after she had given birth to a baby boy. The baby, whose umbilical cord was still attached to his mother, was also dead.
The 26-year-old fourth-year student, who was unmarried, was found in her dormitory by a warden around 5pm on Monday.
Johor Baru (North) OCPD Asst Comm Ruslan Hassan said initial investigations revealed that the student, who was from Kelantan, had been dead for more than two days.
“We believe she died after giving birth.
“However, we are not ruling out the possibility of a criminal element in her death,” he said.
He said the victim’s partner could be a fellow student.
“The bodies have been sent to the Sultanah Aminah Hospital for post-mortem,” he said.
ACP Ruslan urged anyone with information to contact the police hotline at 07-2212 999 or the nearest police station.
