ALOR SETAR: A 20-year-old female college student claimed trial in a magistrate's court here to drowning her newborn baby boy in the toilet bowl of a hostel. Nur Izzati, the eldest of four siblings from Sungai Petani, was alleged to have murdered her newborn baby boy by drowning him in the toilet bowl of the hostel. The incident allegedly took place in the women's toilet on the third floor of the college at about 5.20pm on March 30. No plea was recorded from Nur Izzati, who was represented by Tunku Intan Mahiya Tunku Mahamad. However, the case was later probed for murder after an initial post-mortem report showed that the baby was born alive.
