A woman has been arrested after a new-born baby boy was found in the rubbish bin of an airplane toilet. The 20-year-old Madagascar-national is suspected of being the child's mother though she initially denied parentage. She was a passenger on a flight from her home country to Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Aiport in Mauritius on January 1.
It wasn't
until airport officials carried out a cabin inspection during routine customs
check that the infant was found.
After
finding the boy, he was rushed to the hospital for treatment, BBC reports.
The woman
was ordered to undergo a medical exam to see whether she had given birth
recently.
Authorities
in the East African nation are watching over the woman while she is in
hospital.
Both the
woman and the baby are in good condition, reports say.
