However, she has been charged with concealment of a child at birth.

The Western Regional Crime Officer, Mr. J.K Abraham confirmed the tragic incident to the GNA on Friday.

The police, acting upon a tip-off, went to the place and exhumed the decomposing corpse.

Police investigations into the case continue.
