Police investigating death of newborn baby girl

Police are investigating the death of a newborn baby girl who was found in a garbage container in Prague early on Sunday. The police discovered the identity of the mother almost immediately because she was forced to seek medical attention at a nearby hospital. The police investigate cases involving abandoned newborns several times a year and a number of Prague hospitals have set up baby boxes for unwanted children in the hope that this will decrease the number of babies killed at birth.
