The body of a newborn baby was found in a pile of refuse bags outside Spar supermarket in Makhaza yesterday.

Police alleged that the baby died of suffocation.

Harare police spokesperson Constable Nosiphiwo Mntengwane says this follows a tip-off from the community.

“On our arrival on the scene the baby was already deceased,” said Mntegwane.

Mntengwane says an inquest docket has been opened for investigation.

“We appeal to the public to come forward with the information that may lead to the identification of the mother to call the Harare police station on 021 363 9000,” urge Mntegwane.
