## Summary

An Ohio court sentenced Anuradha Manukonda to three months in jail after she pleaded guilty to gross abuse of a corpse, following the 2023 discovery of her stillborn daughter in a rubbish truck. The case drew attention to the prolonged investigation and the impact on the two workers who found the baby.

Manukonda, 27, will also serve five years of community control probation. Her lawyer said she panicked after delivering the stillborn child at a family home and did not know she was pregnant because of a reproductive condition. Police said DNA evidence helped identify her, but the cause of the baby’s death could not be established because of injuries from the truck and the delay in finding her.
