Kepolisian menangkap seorang perempuan muda yang diduga membuang bayinya di saluran air di Pangandaran karena merasa panik dan takut ketahuan.

PANGANDARAN, Thecuy.com – The wail of an infant, initially mistaken for a feline’s meow during the dead of night, ultimately exposed a grim suspected incident.

Police successfully identified the woman suspected of abandoning her newborn daughter beneath the underpass of an irrigation channel in Paliken Hamlet, Pasirgeulis Village, Padaherang District, Pangandaran Regency.

The underage suspect (aged 17), was apprehended by the Pangandaran Police within less than 24 hours following the baby’s discovery.

This case reveals a harsh reality behind the baby’s discovery, which had previously drawn community concern.

The Acting Public Relations Officer of Pangandaran Police, Aiptu Yusdiana, stated that the case resolution stemmed from intensive investigative efforts.

Police conducted a forensic examination of the crime scene (TKP), carried out observations, and questioned several witnesses near the discovery site.

Based on preliminary interrogation, C is believed to have abandoned her newborn due to overwhelming panic, shame, and fear of being discovered by her parents or neighbours.

The female infant is thought to have been conceived outside marriage. That circumstance is cited as one reason the suspect did not want the child to be born.

“The perpetrator did not want the baby because it was the product of an illicit relationship. She had hoped that someone would think a neighbour wanted to care for it, but in reality she had relinquished her maternal responsibilities,” said Yusdiana on Monday (9/11/2026).

Nevertheless, police must further investigate the entire sequence of events to confirm the case construction and the legal accountability of the suspect.

For her alleged actions, C faces potential charges under Article 429 paragraph (1) and paragraph (2) in conjunction with Article 430 of Law Number 1 of 2023 concerning the Criminal Code (KUHP).

The case began when residents of Paliken Hamlet, Pasirgeulis Village, Padaherang District, were shocked by the discovery of a female infant on Friday (6/11/2026) at approximately 00.30 WIB.

The infant was found beneath the underpass of an irrigation canal for rice fields, naked, her tiny body lying directly on the ground, still stained with blood, with an unsevered umbilical cord and placenta.

The discovery began with a faint cry heard from the direction of the bridge. Residents of Blok Pangasinan, who heard it, initially thought the sound came from a cat.

However, curiosity prompted the locals to approach the source of the sound to verify the situation. They were shocked to learn that the sound came from a newborn baby girl.
