A resident in Green point, Khayelitsha discovered the body of a newborn baby in a storm water-drain on Tuesday.

“The baby was found in Greenpoint informal settlement by a 27-year old resident who poured washing water down the drain,” said Captain Anneke van der Vyver.

It is unknown at this point whether the baby was a full-term- or a premature birth.

An autopsy will determine the gender and the identity of the baby.

No arrests have been made.
