NTB - The police in Mataram City, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) have investigated the discovery of a baby corpse wrapped in plain white cloth in a cardboard instant noodle in the Jempong Baru area.

Kapolresta Mataram represented by Kapolsek Ampenan Kompol Raditya Suharta said the body was found on Wednesday night, April 14 yesterday. The officer has processed the crime scene (TKP).

"The aim of the TKP is of course to uncover the perpetrator who threw away the baby so that the baby was found lifeless," said Raditya as quoted by Antara, Thursday, April 15.

The Mataram Police's Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) also intervened to help with the case. "We hope that in coordination with the PPA unit, we can reveal the perpetrators and find out what their motives are," he said.

The corpse of a male baby was found on a berugak or gazebo owned by a resident of Jempong Baru Village, Sekarbela District, Mataram City. Rohani, a local resident, said that he saw the box around 23.00 WITA.

When it was opened, Rohani said he was shocked. The witness then reported this incident to her husband. This information was also passed on to local residents and even to the ears of the neighborhood chief and the police.

Following up on the information, the police from the Mataram Police went straight to the TKP and evacuated the baby's body to the Bhayangkara Mataram Hospital.

"So when he was found, his condition was still intact with the umbilical cord. He was male. It is estimated that he was only a few hours born from the time he was found," said Rohani.
