Three people, including a nurse, have been arrested and brought before the court in connection with the tragic death of a premature baby of a Beninese couple in the washing machine at Abass Ndao Hospital in Dakar, Senegal.
Three individuals are implicated in the incident at Abass Ndao Hospital in Dakar, Senegal. Among the three arrested and brought before the court is the nurse on duty at the time of the tragedy. According to information, the suspects were brought before the prosecutor’s office following investigations conducted by the Médina police station.
According to the facts, the tragedy occurred due to an alleged mistake by the nurse on duty, who accidentally wrapped the newborn in sheets intended for the laundry. While picking up the sheets, the nurse also picked up the newborn, and both the sheets and the baby were placed in a bag sent to the laundry. Unfortunately, the child reportedly died in the bag before being placed in the washing machine.
The baby, whose body was found in the washing machine, belongs to a Beninese couple living in Senegal. It is a premature baby girl born after 33 weeks of pregnancy and admitted to the neonatology department of Abass Ndao Hospital. Ongoing investigations will shed light on this tragic case and determine responsibility.
