Mother documents illegitimate baby

A woman fraudulently used a compatriot couple’s passports to acquire a birth certificate for her illegitimate newborn baby girl, a court heard. The accused Filipina KK, 27 a human resource employee at a company in Silicon Oasis failed to appear at the Dubai Criminal Court on Thursday. She faces five charges of illicit consensual sex, fraudulent use of two passports, committing forgery on a Birth Notification, using it and committing forgery on a Birth Certificate. “KK had slept with a fugitive compatriot MB and delivered a baby girl,” prosecutors told Judge Hamad Abdul Latif. She decided to impersonate her workmate BR, 31, by photocopying her passport and replacing the photo and names on the copy with hers, they added. She then reportedly submitted it to a private hospital where she had delivered the baby claiming that she was married. Not noticing the forgeries, the hospital issued her a Birth Notification. She got it attested by the Preventive Medicine Department at the health ministry. “Based on forged information, the department offered her a Birth Certificate for her illegitimate baby girl,” insisted prosecutors. “She had submitted BR’s husband’s passport copy.” BR, the complainant, testified she, her husband and KK worked at the company. “KK had collected both our passports after convincing us that the Free Zone authority was examining all passports in the Silicon Oasis.” “After a while, she returned them,” narrated BR adding that she later learnt that KK had been nabbed over a certain offence. “I learnt from a friend that KK had used our passports to acquire legal documents for her baby E.” “She posed as my husband’s wife and submitted his passport copy to the ministry,” BR complained. “On the Birth Certificate she made my husband the baby’s father. So I contacted the police.”   KK allegedly committed the crimes between Jun.19 and Aug.1 last year. The complaint was filed on April 28. She is expected in court on Jul. 26.
