Domestic helper left dead newborn baby in airplane toilet

An airplane flight travelling from Abu Dhabi to Jakarta has experienced mid-air horror after finding a dead newborn baby wrapped in plastic inside the plane’s bathroom drawers on Sunday, January 7.

A 37-year-old Indonesian who had been working as a domestic helper in Abu Dhabi for four years was held by authorities.

Reports say that the woman was transferred from economy class to business class and was even provided with oxygen after she started feeling ill. However, the pilots decided to reroute and divert to Bangkok after the woman started bleeding.

Upon landing in Bangkok, she was immediately attended and was given medical assistance. The flight continued and flew to Jakarta without her.

When the plane arrived and landed in its destination in Jakarta, airplane cleaners found the dead body inside the airplane’s bathroom drawers lifeless.

Authorities said that the woman might have secretly gave birth inside the plane’s bathroom while they were in mid-air.

The Indonesian woman boarded a different flight to go home later that night. She was arrested when she arrived in Indonesia.

The cause of death of the baby remains unknown.
