Student who hid baby in suitcase in Coventry convicted of murder

Teo arrived from Malaysia earlier this year to study at Coventry University and the CPS said she concealed her pregnancy from everyone she knew.

The student, of Raglan Street in the city, gave birth to her baby at full term on 4 March and placed her in a cereal box, then inside a sealable plastic bag and then into the suitcase.

After her conviction on Thursday, James Leslie Francis, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said she arrived in the UK knowing she was likely to give birth in the country and had the opportunity to seek help.

But he said she “chose to carry her pregnancy in secret and give birth alone”.

He also said she refused to go to hospital to get checked after giving birth and “lied to friends who cared about her, to doctors at the hospital and to the police so that no-one found her baby”.

Teo will be sentenced at a date to be arranged.
