A local resident found a dead baby in a Schwerin backyard and contacted the police. The cause of death was determined five days later. The little girl’s 25-year-old mother is now being investigated on suspicion of manslaughter.
Five days after a dead baby was found in Schwerin, the cause of death has been clarified. The girl died of severe craniocerebral injuries, which suggested a fall from a great height, said a spokeswoman for the public prosecutor’s office. The autopsy showed that.
The newborn had lived before. The child’s body was found by a resident in the backyard of an apartment building in Schwerin and the authorities were alerted. A 25-year-old woman from Schwerin was identified as the mother. She is now being investigated on suspicion of manslaughter.
Details of the circumstances surrounding the incident have not yet been released. According to the police, the woman stayed in the house in Feldstadt, a district in the center of Schwerin, but did not live there. She has since been taken into custody. The investigation into the case is ongoing.
