THE lifeless bodies of two newborn twins wrapped in brown paper were discovered dumped in the patio section of a building.
According to the NYPD, the infant twins were discovered in the back section of a Bronx building by a superintendent around 1:45pm Monday afternoon.
“It’s tragic. These two boys never had a chance,” A police source told the New York Post,
According to the outlet, one of the infants had a puncture wound that investigators believe may have occurred during birth, while the other had a head injury and a blue string wrapped around his neck.
Investigators believe the infants were thrown from a window inside the building.
The superintendent who discovered the boys told the outlet he initially thought he saw a doll laying on the ground.
“I didn’t pay it any mind, because I thought it was a toy doll,” the man who identified himself as Johnny said.
Johnny said he went about his day and later “realized it wasn’t a toy,” but a baby boy when he came back out to tend to the garbage.
“The baby was partially wrapped from the waist up in blue plastic, you know the kind you keep in the house for animals.
“The blue thing (training pad) was wet. I turned it a little. There was a little blood, but it did not soak through,” Johnny explained that he touched the infant and found blood underneath.
A resident of the building, Osvaldo Volquez, spoke to The Post and said that the super alerted him after discovering the infants.
Volquez explained how he saw one of the boys “curled up in the fetal position” and what looked like the placenta.
“I could see its little hands and feet,” the 72-year-old said.
He added that the child was not moving and did not appear to be alive when he got there.
“It is a terrible act of humanity… I don’t know who would do such a thing.”
Emergency personnel transported the boys to Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center where they were pronounced dead.
After the gruesome discovery, cops went to area hospitals in search of women who were admitted with heavy bleeding in hopes of finding the mother of the babies.
As of Tuesday, police still did not have any information on who the children’s parents are or any leads on a suspect/s.
