BERLIN (AFP) – German prosecutors said Tuesday [Sep
4] they had opened a manslaughter investigation against a 49-year-old woman
after the corpse of a new-born baby girl was found in her freezer after 10
years.
The
grisly find was made by her former husband on Friday when he defrosted the
freezer in the house where they used to live, said prosecutors in the northern
city of Flensburg.
It
was not clear whether the baby was alive or dead when placed in the freezer,
investigators said. There were no signs she had been violently treated but
authorities confirmed the baby was not stillborn.
The
woman, who has not been named, has admitted the baby was hers and said she was “in a
state of complete exhaustion and hopelessness” at the time.
The
couple already had three, now fully grown, children and divorced in 2009,
prosecutors said.
