The dead baby was found in a flat at this housing estate |
A Filipino woman who reportedly works at Hong Kong Disneyland was arrested earlier today, Feb. 24, after the dead body of her two-day old male infant was discovered in their Sham Tseng flat.
Various media reports said the 30-year-old mother was arrested on charges of child neglect after the baby’s body was discovered by his grandmother at around 4:35 pm today in their flat in Lido Garden on Castle Peak Road.
The grandmother had called the police, saying the baby’s body had already turned blue. Paramedics dispatched to the flat confirmed the baby had died.

One report said the mother was unaware that she was pregnant until she experienced sudden abdominal pain while at work in Disneyland on Jan. 22. She gave birth in a public toilet at the theme park.
It was not clear from the reports if the baby was alive at the time.
Following the delivery the woman placed the newborn infant inside a bag and went home, but did not reportedly tell her husband or 11-year-old son who were in at the time.
At around 1pm today the mother sent a WhatsApp message to her mother-in-law, apologizing for an undisclosed reason. Later this afternoon the older woman checked her grandson’s bedroom and found the dead baby on the bed.
Police arrested the mother at the flat on suspicion of child neglect. Further investigation by the Tsuen Wan Police’s major crime unit is underway.
