Teenage mother arrested over train station baby's death

The baby's body was wrapped up inside a Morrisons reusable bag

A 16-year-old mother has been arrested on suspicion of murdering her newborn daughter, the BBC understands.

The baby was discovered wrapped in a plastic bag inside a bin by a cleaner, at the front of Fleet train station in Hampshire last Wednesday.

Hampshire police managed to trace the mother after a public appeal and she received treatment.

The 16-year-old, from Hampshire, was arrested earlier and is currently being questioned by detectives.

A post-mortem examination was carried out last Thursday but the results have not yet been released.

However an initial examination showed the baby had suffered "significant injuries" not caused during childbirth.

The infant's body had been wrapped up and hidden inside a Morrisons supermarket reusable carrier bag.
