Foetus found on flight to Philippines

Four months after a baby boy was found abandoned inside a plane that arrived in Manila from the Middle East, a fetus was found in a plane from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday night.

According to the Filipino news channel gmanews.tv, Radio dzBB's Denver Trinidad reported that a maintenance worker of Etihad Airways found the fetus inside the plane's lavatory shortly after the plane arrived.

The report cited initial information indicating that the fetus, which was wrapped in a diaper and dumped inside a trash can, was about six to seven months old.

Randy Odo, a maintenance worker of Etihad Airways, said he found the fetus while cleaning Flight EY-428, which arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 on Monday.

The Southern Police District is now investigating the case.
