The stepfather of a Form Four student who gave birth to a stillborn baby in school has been arrested by the police to aid in investigations.

The girl delivered a full-term baby girl in the school’s sick bay in Manjung at 1:30pm on Wednesday. Her classmates found her pale-looking with bloodstains on her school uniform.

When she was sent to Manjung Hospital she told doctors that she had just given birth. The newborn was found dead in a bag belonging to the girl. The umbilical cord was still attached.

The girl was previously in a school in Kuala Kangsar but she requested to be transferred to her present school on 20 January 2007.
