PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS - A woman was arrested after the body of a baby girl was found next to the N2, opposite Kwanokuthula, Plettenberg Bay, on Monday 19 August.

After being called to the scene at about 11:00, police found that the girl, believed to be three days old, had been declared dead by medical personnel.

An investigation led police to a nearby hospital, where a baby girl had been born a few days before.

Police then tracked down a woman (23), who had apparently given birth to the baby girl, in Kwanokuthula, and arrested her on a murder charge.
