Rita Mensah, the 28-year-old mother, who buried her daughter alive at Ekwamase in Ajumako Enyan Essiam in the Central Region, says the baby sprouted from her when she was urinating on her farm.
Rita Mensah says that she had no intention of killing her daughter.
A newborn girl was found buried in a bush in Ajumako Ebowkurase, a suburb of Ekwamase in Ajumako Enyan Essiam in the Central Region by an unknown person.
Previous reports suggested that the baby’s crying attracted a passerby who quickly went into the bush and found the baby partially covered in sand.
The baby is currently at the Abura Dunkwa government hospital in the central region for a medical examination.
However, Rita Mensah’s husband attributed the wife’s act to poverty.
“I did not know that I had given birth to a girl. I just noticed that my pregnancy was not there. I didn’t know what had happened to me. Please forgive me, ”Rita Mensah told the Ajumako police command.
Meanwhile, Ajumako Enyan Essiam DOVVSU’s commander, Madame Rita Wilson, revealed that preliminary investigations at the scene suggest that the suspect intentionally decided to kill the baby.
Rita Mensah is currently in the police custody of the Ajumako district assisting the police in their investigations.
