Residents of Embakasi Tassia are shocked to find the body of a newborn abandoned at a garbage site yesterday evening.
The baby’s body had been covered in a leso and placed inside a carton that was found at the garbage site.
The body was discovered by a beggar who collects cartons and other items from garbage sites for sale.
A barber working at a nearby shopping centre said, “The carton must have been dropped in the wee hours of the morning.”
