On the fence of a waste disposal company in the north of Halle an der Saale, an infant's body was discovered late on Monday evening.

Now the public prosecutor's office has announced that they are investigating the case because of a homicide.

As a spokesman for the authority announced, the dead newborn child found at a recycling center is a girl.

It is still unclear when the child was deposited at the place where it was found.

The final autopsy result is still pending

There are currently no indications of the baby's parents.

According to the preliminary autopsy result, the newborn had vital signs.

The child has lived after birth.

Further forensic examinations would "still take some time," it said.

In order to search for and secure traces, the police again roamed the area around the site in Äußere Hordorfer Straße on Wednesday.

The baby was found dead on a fence at the recycling center after a notice on Monday evening by the police.

It is unclear whether the girl was born there.

With reference to the further investigations, the investigators did not provide any additional information.

The police are looking for witnesses.
