Cops probe doctor
Chad Bryan, Staff Reporter
Investigators from the Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) say they are probing the botched abortion of a 15-year-old girl.
The incident is believed to have taken place recently.
Head of CISOCA, Superintendent Enid Ross-Stewart, said the police are pursuing this matter.
"What I do know is that we have a report of something fitting the description (of which) you are talking about. We have a report that we are actively investigating," she said.
According to information gathered by THE STAR, the child was taken to the doctor, who charged money to complete the procedure.
Afterwards, the child is said to have developed stomach pains and had to be rushed to a hospital in the Corporate Area, where an operation to remove the foetus was reportedly carried out.
When THE STAR visited the hospital, personnel were tight-lipped on the situation. The hospital's chief executive officer claims he didn't know about the matter.
"We're not aware of that incident," he said.
