Kota Kinabatangan: A five-month-old baby boy was found dumped at a plantation, here, last Sunday. The baby emitted a poisonous smell from his mouth when found by a woman identified as Hadira Herman in front of her quarters at about 5.30pm.

The woman then brought the naked baby back to her house before giving him traditional medicine in a bid to cure him as the only clinic was quite a distance away.

She was advised to rush the baby to the hospital before the condition worsened, prompting the baby to be treated at the district hospital.

District police chief,DSP Mardin Lugu confirmed the incident and said the case would be investigated under Section 317 of the penal code.
