Woman admits throwing newborn baby out a window

Jerotich, who is on bail, attended a brief hearing on Monday dressed in a white hoodie and a long braided ponytail placed over her shoulder.

She was not required to speak, other than to indicate to magistrate Leon Fluxman that she was pleading guilty to the single offence.

No details of the crime or allegations were aired in court.

But charges previously alleged Jerotich put the baby in a plastic bag and threw the child out the bathroom window onto concrete “that placed unnamed infant in danger of death”.

The offence occurred between August 29 and 30, 2024, according to court documents.
