The Criminal Investigation Unit of the Meranti Islands Police, Riau Province, investigated the discovery of a baby girl's corpse in the back bush of a resident's house in Gang Damai, Jalan Handayani, East Selatpanjang Subdistrict, Tebingtinggi District, Thursday 20 June. Head of the Meranti Islands Police Satreskrim, Iptu Yohn Mabel, said the investigation was carried out to reveal who the baby's parents were and what was the motive behind the disposal. Although in this case the police did not find any other evidence besides the baby's body in a prone position that had begun to be surrounded by flies. "We continue to carry out an investigation. We must think negatively, in contrast to the community. With this incident we suspect that this baby's discovery could be related to abortion or murder," said Yohn quoted by ANTARA, Friday, June 21. He revealed that the discovery of the baby's body that was passing by the location was suspicious of a pungenital odor. After being traced, it turned out that the smell came from a baby's corpse found behind a resident's house. "After receiving reports of residents who were continued by the East Polsek Tebingtingtinggi East Long Strait Bhabinkamtibmas, several members of the Criminal Identification Unit were immediately dispatched to the scene to evacuate the victim's body and asked for witness testimony in the field," said Yohn Mabel. After completing the investigation of the case scene (TKP), the baby's body, which is thought to have been carried away for three days, was then taken to the Meranti Islands Hospital. Based on the results of the doctor's diagnosis later, it is hoped that a new clue will be taken to the hospital to find the cause of his death. The doctor will explain it later, said Yohn Mabel. Previously, the community was shocked by the discovery of a baby's corpse allegedly dumped by its irresponsible parents, Thursday. Residents were busy coming to the location to witness the discovery of the baby's corpse.

One of the residents who was watching admitted that he was angry with the actions of the person who had the heart to throw away the baby. To the extent that the baby's condition was black and surrounded by flies. "It is very barbaric for those who have the heart to throw their babies away," said a resident at the location where the baby's body was found.
