Police have arrested a 20-year-old woman after digging up a four-month-old foetus buried next to a house in Felda Selancar 6, Rompin.

Pahang CID secretariat officer ASP Noor Asyikin Shamsuri said today police officers were sent to the area after a tip-off at 11.45am yesterday.

She said the woman admitted that she had a miscarriage on Tuesday and, not knowing what to do, contacted a male friend who helped her to bury the foetus.
