Jilted Thai woman throws her newborn from window

Pattaya - The woman threw the baby from the 17th floor of her apartment

A 20-year-old jilted woman in Pattaya, Thailand, threw her newborn baby from the 17th floor of her apartment soon after giving birth.
Netchanok Nokyungtong admitted to killing her newborn baby as her boyfriend, 40, left her and returned to his family in South Korea. The woman told police that she was devastated after her partner who was already married, decided to leave her when he came to know that she was pregnant with his child.
Nokyungtong reportedly went into labour in her flat in a high-rise block in Pattaya and gave birth to a boy. Soon after giving birth, she wrapped the baby boy in a plastic bag and threw him from her bedroom window.
A horrified witness was quoted saying in Daily Mail that that he saw a large object fall past his window on the fourth floor and hit the ground and was shocked to find the baby boy on the ground when he ran downstairs to check. He called police who found the dead body of the baby with the umbilical cord still attached.
Nokyungtong was arrested after the CCTV footage showed her throwing the baby down.
The woman stated to police that she gave birth 'unexpectedly' in the bathroom and was shocked and not ready for the birth. She also added that soon after she opened the window and dropped her son outside in the Banglamung district of the city.
Police Colonel Apichai Khemphet, head of Pattaya Police, said that the woman admitted to killing the baby and would be prosecuted after all the evidence had been gathered. "The boyfriend is a married foreigner from South Korea who did not want to stay with her. She was heartbroken because he returned to his family," Khemphet added.
Khemphet added that the woman had committed a brutal crime and that the mother showed no grief for what she had done.
The woman was taken to hospital for examination and will stay in police custody and be prosecuted.
