Baby left in recycling bin, let out faint whimpering sound
A witness told Mothership that her husband heard some noises from a blue recycling bin in the private estate.
He initially thought it was a stray animal but soon found out that it was actually coming from a newborn.
The newborn did not cry but let out a faint whimpering sound, the witness said.
He was wrapped in a white cloth and was placed in a paper bag.

"The paper bag almost gave way so we had to lay the bin down to carry him out," the witness added.
The witness also said that the placenta of the baby boy was found with him.
