Netchanok Nokyungtong, 20, was said to have been devastated when her cheating 40-year-old boyfriend from South Korea found out she was pregnant and left her. Nokyungtong reportedly went into labour in her flat in a high-rise block in Pattaya, Thailand, and gave birth to a boy on Tuesday afternoon.

She told police that she gave birth ‘unexpectedly’ in the bathroom and wrapped the baby boy in a plastic bag and thrown it out of the 17th-floor window of her flat in Pattaya, a city on Thailand’s eastern gulf coast. A horrified witness told police that he saw a large object fall past his window on the fourth floor and hit the ground at around 5pm, and was shocked to find the baby boy on the ground when he ran downstairs to check. He called police who found the baby wrapped in a green plastic bag.

Colonel Apichai added: ”This is a very brutal crime, the baby was born in a healthy condition and the mother did not have grief for what had happened. Her boyfriend had left and tried to tell her to abort the baby. She said she did not have money to support the child.”
