A dead baby is found in the garbage at a waste disposal company. Investigators assume that the child died a violent death.

A dead infant was found on the premises of a waste disposal company in Freital. It is suspected that the baby was killed and the body disposed of in the garbage, according to a joint announcement by the Dresden public prosecutor's office and the Dresden police headquarters. The public prosecutor's office is now investigating a possible homicide. According to their information, the child was "apparently dumped in a garbage can in Freital or the surrounding area". The body was discovered last Friday. The authorities are not currently providing any further details for reasons of investigative tactics.

The public is asked for information about a woman who was pregnant in recent months and could have given birth to her child without outside help or in a clinic in February. Information can be obtained from the Dresden police department by calling 0351 4832233.
