Cologne – In Cologne, a newborn was found dead in front of the baby hatch of a women's shelter on Monday. A homicide commission took up the investigation, as the Cologne police announced.
After the autopsy of the baby's body, forensic doctors assumed that the boy was still alive at the time of his birth. The police asked the population who had made observations during the morning that could be related to the dead baby. The police also asked: "Who knows a woman who was pregnant but now has no child?" The women's shelter is in the Bilderstöckchen district. The public prosecutor's office initiated an investigation into a murderous crime by omission. dpa
