Chiang Mai: A stillborn child has been found in the freezer of a house refrigerator, more than a year after it was believed to have been left there by the father.
The baby's corpse was wrapped in a towel when it was discovered by a worker hired to renovate a house in tambon Wat Ket of Muang district, according to Pol Maj Gen Thawatchai Pongwiwatchai, commander of Chiang Mai police.
The renovation was being undertaken by Wirat (surname not given), 59, whose mother, Srinoi, owns the house. Ms Srinoi told police she lived in the house last year with a man identified only as Uew, 24, who is Mr Wirat's stepson, as well as Uew's girlfriend. She said the girlfriend became pregnant and gave birth to the stillborn.
