Durban - A woman has been arrested after she came into the KwaDabeka police station near Pinetown and allegedly confessed that she had suffocated her three-month-old baby girl with a blanket.

KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson Captain Nqobile Gwala said the woman came into the police station Community Service Centre crying on Friday. On Monday, the 23-year-old woman appeared at the Pinetown Magistrates’ Court facing a charge of murder. Gwala said the police together with the woman proceeded to her place of residence at sub-five in KwaDabeka. “It’s very sad that the young baby lost her life at the hands of the person she trusted the most in the world.

"My mother became progressively weaker and more ill and bedridden and in this regard I took over the care and nursing to ensure her recovery." The woman said she was too embarrassed to tell her family that she was pregnant for the third time out of wedlock given the circumstances and concealed the pregnancy from her family.
