Mother ‘accidentally’ flushed down baby



A 32 year old woman told a British court she accidentally flushed her newborn down the toilet because she didn't realize she was giving birth.

Claire Jones became pregnant after an affair with a work colleague Marcus Bezerra but hid her condition from friends and family, including her long-term partner, David Stoneman. She said she knew she was pregnant but thought the pain she suffered in the early hours of December 28 from last year was from diarrhoea.

She told that she only realized what had happened when she saw a foot in the toilet bowl. She pulled the baby out and put on her lap. He wasn't breathing. She said she tried to revive him by blowing into his mouth and massaging his heart.

She was given a suspended sentence for concealing the baby's birth. The court is investigating the circumstances of the baby’s death.
