A shocking case of childbirth and concealment of a body has been reported in Taipei! A 19-year-old female college student, after breaking up with her boyfriend, unexpectedly discovered she was pregnant. On the 2nd, she gave birth to a baby boy in her bathroom at home, but the baby boy died suddenly. The college student wrapped the baby boy in a towel and hid him in her room with the body for 6 days until her family noticed something was wrong and went to the police station to report the case on Father's Day. After questioning by the prosecutor, the case took a turn. The baby boy's mother was suspected of committing a serious murder and was arrested in court and a request for detention was made.

Attorney Li Yu-sheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the prosecution's focus today is to clarify whether the woman failed to fulfill her caregiving obligations after childbirth, inadvertently causing the infant's death, or whether the infant's death was due to natural causes related to its own physical condition. However, the prosecution currently believes that the woman knew the infant urgently needed care but deliberately neglected it, ultimately leading to the infant's death. They do not rule out the possibility that she had the subjective intent to kill the infant, and therefore consider her a prime suspect in murder, thus filing a motion with the court.Detention.
