Baby dies six hours after birth after mother strangled it

A 24-year-old mother killed her newborn daughter right after she was born by dumping her body in a park bush. She has been convicted of infanticide. “Babita Rai, a care home worker, fatally crushed her newborn girl’s skull with repeated and ‘deliberate’ blows to the head in Aldershot Park, Hampshire, in May 2017,” Metro reported.  Rai, who was 20 at the time, had given birth under a nearby tree at night after hiding her pregnancy for months. Rai was six months pregnant when she moved to the UK from Nepal, but concealed it from border officials, her GP and colleagues at a restaurant she worked at previously. The baby who was thrown behind a fence died two hours later.
