Search for Deceased Newborn at Saxony Composting Facility

Authorities investigate potential ordinance violation after discovering a newborn's body in Wittichenau.

The Dresden prosecutor's office and police have been searching for a deceased newborn since early September.
Investigators focused their search on a composting facility in Wittichenau, located in the Bautzen district.
Current evidence suggests the case may involve a stillbirth, with no criminal charges filed against the mother or others.
An ordinance violation related to burial laws is the only potential charge being considered at this time.
The case has not yet yielded the child's body, and further details remain undisclosed by authorities.
