The suspect, identified as Stelly Marecha, is currently in police custody following his arrest at the corner of Mbuya Nehanda and Albion Streets in the city’s Central Business District.
According to a police statement, Marecha discovered the foetus wrapped in a black plastic bag discarded in a bin at the busy intersection.
