13-year-old boy detained in Kampar after sister gives birth to baby in toilet

IPOH: A 13-year-old boy has been arrested after his 15-year-old sister gave birth to his baby in Kampar on Sunday (Dec 16).

Kampar OCPD Supt Hasron Nazri Hashim said the boy was detained after his sister gave birth to a baby girl in the toilet of their family home on 3:30pm on Saturday (Dec 15).

“She initially thought she had a stomach ache and went to the toilet. But she ended up screaming for her mother in pain.

"That is when her mother rushed in and found her daughter covered with blood and a baby in the toilet bowl.

"She brought both of them to the hospital,” said Hasron.

He said the girl, who quit school when she was 14, admitted that she had sex with her brother several times at the back room of their house in May.

“However, she did not know that she was pregnant because she had no symptoms while carrying the baby.

“She is currently being treated at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital (HRPB) for loss of blood due to childbirth.

"Her baby is under the care of paediatric specialists in the hospital because of a head injury suffered after falling into the toilet bowl,” he added.

The boy has since been detained for investigations under Section 376B of the Penal Code.
