The prosecution, which had requested pre-trial detention for this woman, will appeal this decision. The autopsy of the body did not allow " to affirm that the child was born alive " therefore " additional examinations will be carried out " and which will have to allow " to determine with certainty the living character of the infant ", reported the parquet floor at AFP.
According to this source, this woman, who had been placed in police custody Tuesday morning, admitted having given birth to this infant and then put the body in a bag before throwing it into the canal. These are children who had carried out " the repatriation of the bag on the bank " while it "was stagnant in the water ". Upon discovering its contents, a child warned his mother who herself " called the police ."
