A 17-year-old mother, Nim, allegedly confessed to police that she dumped her 8-month-old baby in a canal near her home.
Nim claimed the baby suffered a "seizure" after accidentally falling during a bath, prompting her to panic and dispose of the body.
Police believe the mother's confession about dumping the baby but doubt her account of the accident, initiating further investigation into the baby's death.
Divers have searched the canal, located about 200 meters from Nim's home, but have not yet found any trace of the missing infant.
Nim's partner and another individual face separate charges related to procuring a minor for prostitution and statutory rape involving Nim.
