A team of experts will begin investigations on Friday into the deaths of five premature babies at Jubilee Hospital in Hammanskraal, Pretoria north, a spokesman said.

A court in Hanoi sentenced two people to four and five years in jail for planning to sell a new-born baby in Hanoi, a court official said Wednesday.

Hanoi People's Court sentenced Nguyen Van Hai, 42, and his sister-in-law Ngo Thi Sang, 37 for trafficking children, court secretary Tran Cong Hach said.

The pair was arrested in January 2010 when police caught them taking a 10-day-old boy out of a bus station in Hanoi. They were unable to provide the child's identity.

Hai admitted he bought the baby for 40 million dong (around R13 000) from a female acquaintance and then asked Sang to bring the child to Hanoi to sell to an infertile couple. – Sapa-dpa
