Nandu News (reporter: Jiaoguo Yao, correspondent: Yongjian Zhu) - The much-anticipated case of the newborn baby boy at the San Shui China Travel Hotel in Foshan, who was abandoned and had his throat slit by his unwed mother Zhou, has now come to a close. Yesterday, Nandu News learned from the San Shui court that Zhou was sentenced to 2 years in prison after considering various factors including that she harmed her own son, attempted murder but failed, was just 18 years old at the time of the crime, and also had an experience of being abandoned by her parents when she was young. Zhou stated that she will not appeal.
On April 11 this year, Zhou, a cashier in the sauna department of the China Travel Hotel, gave birth to a baby boy in the dormitory building of the hotel. As she was unmarried, she was afraid that her colleagues would hear the baby's cries. She grabbed a fruit knife from the dormitory, cut the umbilical cord, and then slashed the baby's neck several times until the baby stopped making any sound. She then placed the baby in a plastic bag and threw it into the trash can at the stairwell on the 7th floor.
