Geraldton mother Monique Burton handed suspended jail sentence after newborn baby found in freezer
WARNING: This story contains distressing details. A woman who secretly gave birth in her lounge room and put the newborn in a plastic bag that was later placed in her backyard freezer has avoided going to prison, despite a Perth judge describing her actions as morally repugnant. The judge told a West Australian court the baby was probably stillborn and even though Monique Ellen Burton, 35, admitted interfering with a corpse, she was not trying to conceal a crime. Burton gave birth in her Geraldton home in 2022, and left the baby boy in a plastic garbage bag she then hid behind a lounge room couch. Her partner, Shaun Bradley Balaam, later found the bag and put it into a chest freezer on the couple's back verandah, believing it may have contained a baby because Burton had previously concealed pregnancies. Methamphetamine was detected in the baby's system after his body was eventually found by police. Burton went to hospital, but over several days she continued to deny to health workers that she had given birth. She eventually revealed what had happened and the baby's body was found in the freezer. Tests revealed Balaam, who earlier had also received a suspended sentence for interfering with a corpse, was not the baby's father. "This is a tragic case on numerous levels," District Court Judge Darren Renton said, referring to the "moral repugnance" of her conduct. The judge said the fact that Balaam was not the child's father may have partly explained Burton's actions, even though she had denied this was why she concealed the pregnancy. He said it was not possible to determine how the baby died because the body was frozen, although Burton had claimed the infant had been stillborn. Her own description was that there was "no noise" from the baby and "he looked like a doll". While he had misgivings about her credibility, Judge Renton said "it seems likely that baby Burton was stillborn". But he said there was a "degree of indignity to baby Burton" in the circumstances that followed his birth. Judge Renton said the concealment was "not sophisticated" and was not meant to be "permanent," and if Burton had initially told the health workers the baby was stillborn, she would not have been charged. The judge noted that Burton had concealed two previous pregnancies, with one child passing away at a young age and the other being left on a doorstep and given up for adoption. As well as pleading guilty to interfering with a corpse with intent to prevent an investigation, Burton pleaded guilty to multiple charges of fraud related to a GoFundMe campaign. A friend had started the campaign after being told Burton had a terminal illness, and more than $3,000 was raised. The judge said that while Burton had not set it up, she was aware the campaign was going to be created. Burton had "adjustment disorder", the judge said, as well as depressive disorder, but was also genuinely remorseful about her actions and was receiving ongoing counselling. Her total sentence of 19 months was suspended, with the judge ordering she undergo supervision and treatment in the community.

Perth mother who hid baby's corpse in garbage bag behind couch avoids jail
A mother who hid her baby's corpse in a garbage bag behind a couch after concealing a pregnancy from her partner has narrowly avoided jail. Monique Ellen Burton, 35, received a 12-month suspended sentence in the Perth District Court on Friday for interfering with a corpse and 11 counts of fraud. Burton accepted more than $3000 in donations from a Go Fund Me page set up by a friend who believed she was terminally ill. In handing down his sentence, Judge Darren Renton told Burton he grappled with the appropriate sentence given the seriousness of her offending and it was by a bare margin that her sentence was suspended. He said her criminality was interference but it was not sophisticated and somewhat naive, and while he considered it to be serious it was on the lower end. 'Your motive was in part a desire to avoid the consequences of your pregnancy and because of your psychological conditions,' he said. 'You had a sticking your head in the sand approach to deal with stressors and would go into a state of avoidance and denial.' The court was told Burton had been with her partner Shaun Bradley Balaam for 14 years and the couple had five children together when she became pregnant to another man. Burton had a history of concealing pregnancies and lost a child who was 15 months old from medical conditions. When she became pregnant with her sixth child, she gave her partner false pregnancy test results when he became suspicious she was carrying a baby, and told him her bulging stomach was caused by a liver condition. She gave birth to the baby on a lounge at her Geraldton home she shared with Balaam, about 400km north of Perth, on the evening of August 19, 2022 while he slept. The court was told after giving birth Burton wrapped the baby in clothing and hid the infant behind a couch in the lounge room. When Balaam found Burton in the lounge room the next morning she was not well and he took her to hospital where she lied about her medical condition and failed to disclose she had given birth. She repeatedly denied giving birth when she was hospitalised despite being questioned by medical staff, and was transferred to King Edward Memorial Hospital in Perth. When Balaam returned home he found the bag behind the couch and concluded there might be a baby inside, but rather than alerting authorities he wrapped the bag in another black garbage bag and concealed it under items in a freezer on the back veranda. When Burton was hospitalised in Perth she repeatedly denied being pregnant or giving birth eventually admitting to a social worker what happened. Police were alerted and found the baby's body hidden under items in a freezer at her Geraldton home on August 25, 2022. Burton was interviewed by police in January 2024, telling them she had a fuzzy memory and had blocked it out. Judge Renton said he could not determine if the baby was born alive or stillborn, but Burton eventually told authorities the baby was stillborn when she admitted to the birth. The judge said authorities were unable to determine the cause of death because the child had been placed in a freezer by Balaam. He said there was no evidence the baby was met with a violent death but if Burton had alerted authorities when the baby was stillborn she would not have faced criminal charges. The judge accepted Burton was remorseful and has been engaging with support services to address her psychological issues that would not be available to her in prison. He found an immediate jail term would undermine steps she had taken to rehabilitate. Burton will be required to undergo a supervision order and attend programs. Her partner Balaam was previously sentenced to a 12 month community based order for a lessor charge of not having a lawful excuse to improperly interfere with a corpse.

Search for missing 26-year-old Gach Top west of Alice Springs enters fourth day
The search for missing Alice Springs man Gach Top has entered its fourth day, with police continuing to hold serious concerns for his welfare amid near-freezing temperatures in the Red Centre overnight. There was an eerie quiet at the search camp west of the town on Thursday as Mr Top's loved ones climbed out of their cars, hoping for news of their partner, son, brother and friend. The 26-year-old went missing on Monday before his car was found abandoned 14.5 kilometres west of John Flynn's Grave Historical Reserve on the outskirts of Alice Springs the next morning. Mr Top has not been seen or heard from since Monday night. Police and emergency services have so far scoured more than 500 square kilometres of rugged, grassy landscape in their aerial and ground search, in helicopters, by foot and in all-terrain vehicles. Mr Top's father, David Kong, along with members of his family, have been at the centre of search efforts, about 20 kilometres west of Alice Springs. "I actually got the message from his partner midnight on Monday that he didn't show up at work," Mr Kong said. "Then the whole family started panicking, there was no answer when we called [him]. Mr Kong said his son had recently become a father to his own four-week-old child. While Mr Top had previously explored Simpsons Gap with his sister, Mr Kong said, the father was not sure whether he was much of a bushwalker. Acting Sergeant Chris Grotherr said the surrounding MacDonnell Ranges made it "a bit easier in some senses" to focus search efforts. "The area between the range area is quite flat so that is helpful as well, however it is populated by knee-high grass which does make it difficult for ground search teams to locate certain items," he said. The search effort has included more than 50 people from local and Darwin police units, fire and rescue teams and ranger groups. Mr Kong said his family was grateful to everyone who had been searching for his "caring" son. "The whole community, I'm really thankful for the hard work they've been doing for the last few days," he said. Police have described Mr Top as "a six-foot-tall male of Sudanese appearance", with a lean build and short curly hair. He was last seen wearing a red or orange puffer jacket, cream-coloured tracksuit pants and dark-coloured runners. His family and police are urging anyone who may have seen him near Larapinta Drive, Standley Chasm or Simpsons Gap on Monday evening, or who may know his whereabouts, to make contact.
