A newborn girl and her single mother were found dead in the toilet of a factory hours after her birth.
A cleaner discovered the bodies at Taman Perindustrian Merlimau, Malacca, on Thursday at about 8am, Berita Harian reported.
A police spokesman said the mother, in her 30s, from Kemendor near Jasin, was believed to have died of excessive bleeding.
He said the woman had entered the toilet at 3am and given birth to the baby.
He said they were waiting for the post-mortem report from Hospital Jasin.
“The victim is believed to have been staying with her brother in Kampung Kilang Berapi before the incident occurred,” a source said.

M. Gobinah, 21, was also fined RM300 after pleading guilty to the offence which occurred in Kapar, Klang, on June 20.
Under Regulation 25(1)(n) of the National Registration Regulations, anyone found guilty of not carrying his or her MyKad at all times could be fined a maximum of RM20,000 or jailed up to a maximum of three years, or both.
Gobinah told magistrate Azlinda Ahmad Sharif that he had lost his MyKad two days before he was stopped by the police.
He, however, failed to produce a police report on the loss.
Earlier, Gobinah pleaded not guilty to the charge of possessing 0.03g of amphetamine at the same place, time and day that he was detained.
