A newborn baby was discovered in the cellars of a building in Saint-Étienne. The baby was recovered by emergency services while his mother, aged 20, was taken into custody for attempted murder.

The young woman would have given birth alone, after a denial of pregnancy, specifies France Bleu. His police custody was extended this Monday, and a judicial investigation should be opened, specifies the prosecution in Le Figaro. The charge of attempted murder initially targeted could evolve, the public prosecutor, David Charmatz, says.
