{{Residents of Ntunga cell, Mwurire sector in Rwamagana district, on September 16 woke-up to a shock after a woman in the area gave birth and threw the toddler in a pit latrine.}}<\/p>\n
Claire Tuyisenge, 31, who is currently in police custody, allegedly gave birth to a baby girl and dumper it in a pit at night.<\/p>\n
She is detained at Musha police post. Police said she will be charged with infanticide.<\/p>\n
Infanticide, which is the killing of a biological or adopted child, is punishable with a life sentence under article 143 of the penal code.<\/p>\n
The body of the tot was retrieved and taken to Rwamagana hospital for post-mortem.<\/p>\n
Police also dismissed claims by the suspect, who alleged that she had just gone to ease herself, when the incident happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a planned and shameful crime of killing own baby,\u201d Supt. Emmanuel Karuranga, the Eastern region police spokesperson, said.<\/p>\n
He advised girls to have protected sex, if they cannot abstain, and to plan when to have a child.<\/p>\n
\u201cKilling own baby is not the solution. If one can\u2019t support the unplanned pregnancy, why can\u2019t they seek support rather than committing such a sinful and unlawful act,\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
