Body of newborn baby discovered in Cork

The discovery of the infant was made after the girl’s mother presented herself to gardaí.

GARDAÍ IN CORK are investigating the discovery of the body of newborn baby in a house in the south of Cork City.

The baby girl was found after her mother presented herself to a gardaí station in the city and told them that she had recently given birth.

A subsequent search by gardaí of the address she had given them led to the discovery.

The Irish Examiner reports that the baby’s body was found in a bin in the rear of the house.

The body of the infant has been removed to Cork University Hospital where a post-mortem is due to be carried out today.
