Body of baby found floating in dam

Aflao, July 13, GNA - The Police in Tadzewu, a farming community near Dzodze, in the Ketu District, have mounted a search for the mother of a 10 month-old baby girl, whose body was found floating in a dam on the outskirts of the town on July 1.

Police Inspector Michael Torgbenu, Officer in-charge of Tadzewu, said the mother was the prime suspect in the crime.

The dam is the source of water for the community.

He said school children found the body floating in the dam and informed the Police who retrieved and sent it to the Saint Anthony's Hospital at Dzodze for autopsy.

Mr. Torgbenu said the hospital report said the baby died of suffocation from drowning.

He said one had claimed to be the parents of the baby, which was buried last Thursday.
