Friday, April 29, a cleaning lady called in emergency discovered the body of a lifeless newborn. Since then, an investigation has been underway, led by the Bergerac police department. The body of a boy On that day, around 2 p.m., a couple who wanted to use the toilets for people with reduced mobility were some blood. Without going any further, they informed the station master, who went there. Also observing the blood, he did not push his investigations further, thinking of a possible fight. He closed the WC and requested the services of a cleaning company. At 3 p.m., the cleaning lady, when starting her work, was faced with horror. In the toilet bowl, half-hidden by paper, the corpse of a newborn baby was floating. She immediately called the station master, who alerted the police station. A judicial police officer, forensic identification and the deputy prosecutor went on site for the first findings. At the sight of the blood, the placenta and the cut umbilical cord, the hypothesis of a delivery on the spot was imposed. The lifeless body was that of a boy. Bergerac station is not equipped with a video surveillance system. Grégoire Morizet No surveillance cameras The neighborhood survey conducted did not provide any particular indication. More problematic: the Bergerac SNCF station is not equipped with a video surveillance system, no camera image can be used. The prosecution has therefore extended the investigations to the hospitals of the territory, that of Bergerac in the first place, “in order to know if a person showing signs of significant bleeding has presented himself”, confides the deputy prosecutor Charles Charollois. instant, this lead would have yielded nothing. Ditto on the side of psychiatric establishments which take or have taken care of women who have already made denials of pregnancy. Not knowing whether the child was stillborn or not, the investigation was opened to find the causes of death . And an autopsy of the body of the deceased will be performed on Tuesday, May 3, in Bordeaux. “It will make it possible to determine whether the child was alive or not during childbirth, explains the deputy prosecutor. If he was alive, that would mean the mother killed him and we’re headed for murder. If he was stillborn, we will think about another qualification, as an attack on the physical integrity of a body. Forensic identification carried out the first statements, as of Friday, April 29. Gregoire Morizet
