A Nigerian woman is being questioned by Austrian police after the
death of a newborn baby found abandoned in a toilet bin at Vienna airport.
A cleaner discovered the child inside a plastic bag in the early
hours of Thursday, November 10th and immediately called the emergency services,
police spokesman Raimund Schwaigerlehner said.
The baby was taken to hospital but died shortly afterwards due to
a prolonged lack of oxygen. Authorities have identified a 27-year-old Nigerian
as the child's mother.
The woman, who had
been in transit in Vienna, was also taken to hospital where she remains under
medical observation. Schwaigerlehner said that the woman "was found
bleeding in the waiting area", where she was waiting for a connecting
flight to Washington.
