Woman arrested after newborn baby found dead in bag outside London church
A woman in her 30s has been arrested after a newborn baby boy was found dead in a carrier bag in Notting Hill, west London, last week.
The woman, believed to be the baby’s mother, was detained on Saturday on suspicion of concealing a birth, neglect and infanticide, the Metropolitan Police said.
She remains in hospital having been taken there for treatment following her arrest.
Supt Owen Renowden said the woman is “receiving the support she needs while officers continue their work to understand what took place”.
Officers were called at 12:46 GMT on 25 March to Powis Gardens following a report that the body of a baby had been found in a Marks & Spencer bag outside All Saints Church.
