A 27-year-old woman is expected to make a brief appearance in court for the concealment of a birth after she dumped her new born baby.
She was arrested on Wednesday 25 February by the Kagiso police.
Warrant Officer Solomon Sibiya, a police spokesperson said the new born baby was found last Friday 20 February by community members in an open field close to the Mandisa Shiceka Secondary School in Kagiso.
He said when the police arrived at the scene they found the semi decomposed body of the new born baby boy inside a plastic bag.
Police investigations will be conducted to determine the exact cause of death.
The suspect was arrested after members of the community informed the police that she was seen pregnant a few days ago, but once the baby was born, she could not say where her baby was.
“She has admitted to dumping the baby but police investigations will be done,” Sibiya said.
