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.
The woman was released pending further investigations.
