Baby killed by mother

The Dubai Appeal Court yesterday upheld a three-year sentence for a Filipina mother who killed her baby girl. Last December the woman was washing the baby when she fell from her grasp and hit the side of the bath.

The woman said she had not worried about any injuries as the baby had seemed normal and continued to feed normally. However, the next day she realised something was wrong and took her baby to Rashid Hospital where it was pronounced dead.
She was investigated after medical staff reported her to the authorities. The Filipina will be deported after serving her sentence. Source
