Mum, 23, throws her newborn baby out of window after learning she's disabled

A twisted 23-year-old mum threw her newborn baby girl out of a maternity hospital window after being told the child was likely to be disabled.

To try and "cover the crime", she then dropped a second baby girl – not hers – out of the window in Namangan, Uzbekistan, according to police.

It took an hour for sleeping night duty staff to realise the babies were missing and had fallen 16ft.

When they were finally found, the girls were alive but severely injured from the fall and both died soon afterwards in intensive care.
