Woman charged after leaving baby to die inside toilet

MISSOURI (KTVO)- A woman has been arrested and charged after leaving her newborn to die in a toilet.

Makuya Stephanie Kambamba, 28, was charged on Friday after giving birth inside one of the bathrooms at her meat-packing job, and letting the newborn drown to death on May 6th.

Authorities say that Kambamba gave birth and saw her baby moving face-down in the toilet. Instead of taking the baby out, investigators say that she sat down for 30 minutes due to the pain from giving birth.

An autopsy showed the newborn’s cause of death was drowning.

Kambamba was charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter and felony abuse or neglect of a child.
