Couple nabbed trying to sell unborn child to buy iPhone, faces Jail sentence.



A Chinese couple will face years in jail after allegedly trying to sell their daughter to get iPhone 5 for $8 200. The couple placed anonymous advertisements in newspapers suggesting they would be prepared to part making use of their baby after giving birth.
They were charged with human-trafficking. According to Chinese media reports, the amount of money, that have been deposited in couple's bank account, were used to get a brand new iPhone and various other luxury goods.

The couple told prosecution that these were acting within their baby's best interests because they cannot provide production and proper lifestyle due to their child. Meanwhile, prosecutors stated that the couple's bank records shows they'd hatched a'sinister conspiracy'to profit from the sale of the baby.

Trying to hide the plot, criminals tried to conceal the pregnancy from their neighbors. The girl was spending all her time in the home and even gave birth to her child inside their place. 

IPhones are a sought-after commodity in China and only a year ago seven people were jailed in Hunan province due to their role in the purchase of a kidney from a young boy, who used the amount of money to get an iPhone and an iPad.
