A woman has been arrested after she murdered her newborn baby and, the baby was found dead in a bag in central Johannesburg.

Warrant Officer Xoli Mbele said the woman was arrested on Tuesday morning when police found her baby's body wrapped in a bag she had left at work.

Community neighbours called police after they noticed that there was no baby, but the woman was pregnant and had given birth.

The woman received a call from her employer during police questioning, asking her to pick up her bag from work.

It was then that the baby was found. The newborn baby was declared dead on arrival, and an autopsy still has to be done to determine the cause of the baby’s death.

The 25-year-old will be appearing in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court soon.
