Investigations into the discovery of a dead baby boy wrapped in a plastic bag in the public toilets at Solomou Square on Sunday were ongoing on Monday, with autopsy results expected soon.
It has been reported that the dead baby was in the “final stages” of gestation, but no clear age has yet been defined.
An autopsy is set to be carried out on Monday afternoon, in part to provide an answer as to whether the baby was born alive or was stillborn. Local media reported that the corpse was in a state of decay.
The official charged with overseeing the sanitation of the toilets near the bus station said that nothing untoward was identified on either Saturday afternoon or on Sunday morning when scheduled cleanings took place, leading some to believe that the dead baby was transferred there later in the day.
Officers have returned to the site, and Alphanews reported that police are sifting through CCTV footage in the area, while one line of investigation has also led officers to the Pournara migrant reception centre.
The mother has not yet been identified.
