A young lady is said to have killed her baby after giving him tramadol to put him to sleep so she could go out and party with her friends.
According to reports, the mother of one who wanted to go to a club had fed her month-old baby with tramadol in order to make him fall asleep without waking up in the middle of the night.
She locked the baby in the bedroom while she went to the club with her friends. Unfortunately, when she returned in the morning, the baby had died from the medication.
The incident reportedly happened last night in Likomba, Tiko. She has since been handed over to the police after residents mobbed her over the child’s death.
Sharing photos of the mother and the child, a Facebook user narrated,
“This lady you see here committed an abomination last night in Likomba, Tiko. Despite having a newborn baby of few months old in hand, she wanted to go clubbing with friends. The innocent child was the only thing standing in her way as she couldn’t take him to the club. So what did this girl do?”
“She decided to give him tra@madol so he can fall deep asleep. This way she can go party with her friends.”
She gave her the tr@madol and locked the baby inside the house. She returned home this morning only to find out the baby died as a result of the hard drugs she gave him.
