Will County (Illinois): Police have arrested two people, including the mother, in the case of trying to flush a newborn baby in the toilet and then burying the body in a beer box.

Nicole Pokrzywa (36) of Wilmington (the baby's mother) and William Kosmen (38) of Manhattan have been charged with 'desecration of a corpse'.

Nicole gave birth to the baby in October 2024. Kosmen tried to flush the baby in the toilet. After that, he wrapped the body in a plastic bag and buried it in a beer box three feet deep in his yard.

The Will County Sheriff's Office received information about this a year later on December 4. The body was subsequently recovered.

The postmortem report states that the baby was between 22 and 27 weeks gestational age and further tests are needed to determine the cause of death.
