The baby's father Mr Nelson Ahajul, 33, said they were shocked when the midwife told them "something else" came out after she helped deliver the first baby.

"We were not aware (that there was a second baby). We only knew about it when the midwife cleaned it (the baby's head)," he said when met at their home in Kampung Baru, Batu 4 Jalan Apas Tawau.

He said their newborn twins were their ninth and 10th child.

"I accept the condition of our baby and take it as God's will," he said, adding that a burial will be conducted at the village cemetery.

Mr Nelson said his wife did not experience any complications when delivering today, adding that she went for all checkups throughout all her pregnancies. THE NEW STRAITS TIMES
