Following the discovery of a baby's body in a Gelsenkirchen apartment, warrants have been issued against the mother. The 34-year-old is in custody, said the prosecutor. She was considered a suspect.
The autopsy of the corpse revealed that the child died from "significant skull injuries". "The suspicion of a third party debt has hardened," said a spokeswoman for the prosecutor. It will be determined further.
The body of the three-month-old baby had been found on Monday in the home of a 49-year-old Gelsenkirchener. According to the prosecution came before an emergency call from the apartment in North Rhine-Westphalia, which concerned the infant. The spokeswoman did not provide information on who dropped off the emergency call. When the officials arrived at the apartment, according to the prosecutor, the mother had an alcohol value of 2.44 per thousand in the air.
