C/R: Mother 26, kills newborn baby by hitting her against palm tree

A 26 years old woman called Esi Dora, at Breman Amoanda in the Asikuma Odobeng Brakwa District of the Central Region has killed her newborn baby by hitting her against a palm tree.

Report obtained by Otecfmghana.com indicates that, it is not the first time but the second time this woman has committed such a demonic act as she threw her baby into a toilet last year, but the baby was retrieved right away and is currently alive.

In an interview with OtecNews, the suspect claimed that the baby was dead before she was born so she quickly threw her into the bush.

She later admitted that she hit the baby against a palm tree while she was dead. “It would have been difficult for me to cater for the baby even if she had survived because of my financial difficultly”, she disclosed.

Both family members and residents said the suspect is not known to have exhibited any sign of mental illness.

Mr. Darling, the Unit Committee member for Breman Amoanda who condemned the criminal action of the woman disclosed that some ritual will be performed to pacify the gods on their land before the baby is buried.
