The body of a new born baby girl was found on Huelin beach in Malaga city, opposite the old tobacco factory, on Sunday morning just after 9.30 by a local taking a stroll.
Emergency service personnel who arrived on the scene said that the baby girl was white, naked when discovered, and still had the hospital clip attached to the remainder of her umbilical cord, which indicates that she was only a few days old.
Apparently a witness saw a man on the shoreline at 7 o'clock in the morning with a pram and the possibility that it was this individual who threw the baby into the sea before she was later washed up is being investigated.
Around 11 a.m., the baby was taken to the Legal Medicine Institute (IML) where an autopsy will be carried out today. Meanwhile National Police officers are trying to find out exactly what happened.
