A woman gave birth in her office toilet before quietly returning to her desk with the newborn baby wrapped in two sealed bags, and put it in her desk drawer.

Kim Pappas, 25, was two hours into her working day at Ceva Logistics in Wyandotte, Michigan, on March 31 when she disappeared to the bathroom to deliver the boy - and cut the umbilical cord with cuticle scissors.

Nobody knew she was pregnant.

Charged: Kim Pappas, 25, has been charged with premeditated murder after giving birth in her office toilet then wrapping her baby boy in a plastic bag and secretly putting him in her desk drawer. The baby died

Her attempt at secrecy, however, was foiled minutes later when two employees went to the restroom, which was covered in blood.

Returning to the office of the freight management company they saw traces of blood on Pappas' clothing, and found the lifeless infant wrapped up at her feet.

Pappas has been charged with premeditated murder.

According to Fox, workers went to the bathroom after hearing moaning and crying - but Pappas had already left.

They alerted emergency services and went round every employee.

Noticing the blood on Pappas, she was questioned and they searched her desk.

It was not until they discovered the baby in the drawer that she admitted what had happened.

Shock: Nobody at Ceva Logistics, Michigan, knew Pappas was pregnant until they saw blood in the cubicle

Court: Pappas appeared in court on Friday via videolink to be arraigned. She has been denied bail

The child was sealed inside a plastic bag, which was wrapped in a tote bag.

He showed no signs of life at the office and was later pronounced dead in hospital.

It is believed he was in the bag for between 15 and 30 minutes, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Initially, Pappas claimed she had a miscarriage but an autopsy suggests the baby died by suffocation.

Pappas appeared via video link in court on Friday to be arraigned. She is facing charges of felony murder, premeditated murder and first-degree child abuse, and has been denied bail, the Free Press reported.
