Netchanok Nokyungtong shows police where she threw her baby from
Netchanok Nokyungtong, a woman from Thailamd has admitted to
throwing her newborn baby from a 17th floor window because her married
boyfriend left her to return to his family.
According to Daily Mail UK,
Netchanok Nokyungtong, 20, told police she was devastated when her
40-year-old boyfriend abandoned her and returned to his family in South
Korea after she told him she was pregnant.
Nokyungtong reportedly went into labour in her flat in a high-rise
block in Pattaya, Thailand, and gave birth to a boy on Tuesday
afternoon.
Soon after giving birth, she wrapped the baby boy in a plastic bag and threw him from her bedroom window.
A horrified witness told police that he saw a large object fall
past his window on the fourth floor and hit the ground at around 5pm,
and was shocked to find the baby boy on the ground when he ran
downstairs to check.
He called police who found the baby wrapped in a green plastic bag
with the umbilical cord still attached. His heart was not beating.
Officers checked CCTV and later arrested Nokyungtong who admitted throwing the baby out the window.
She said she had done so because her boyfriend 'Kim' from South
Korea, already had a family and returned to them after finding out she
was pregnant.
She told police that she gave birth 'unexpectedly' in the bathroom
and opened the window and dropped her son outside in the Banglamung
district of the city.
Police Colonel Apichai Khemphet, head of Pattaya Police, said
Nokyungtong admitted to killing the baby and would be prosecuted after
all the evidence had been gathered.
'Miss Netchanok Nokyungtong gave birth in bathroom where blood
was found on the floor. She said she was shocked and not ready for the
birth.
'The boyfriend is a married foreigner from South Korea who did
not want to stay with her. She was heartbroken because he returned to
his family.
'She put the baby in a plastic bag and threw it out of the window and it died.'
Police photographs of Nokyungtong show her indicating to police where she was when the incident took place.
Police Colonel Apichai Khemphet added: 'This is a very brutal crime. The baby was born in a healthy condition. The mother did not have grief for what had happened.
'Her boyfriend had left and tried to tell her to abort the baby. She said she did not have money to support the child.
'She has also now been taken to hospital to be checked. But she will stay in police custody and be prosecuted.'
