The body of a newborn baby was discovered in a deserted area in Touday douar, within the Ait Amira rural commune in Morocco’s Chtouka Ait Baha province, on Tuesday morning.

Citizens reportedly found the fully formed infant wrapped in cloth and immediately alerted local authorities and the Royal Gendarmerie. Judicial police officers from the Gendarmerie and a local authority representative arrived at the scene to conduct an initial examination. Civil Protection services were then called to recover the baby’s body.

Following instructions from the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Agadir Court of Appeal, the infant’s body was transported to the morgue at the Hassan II Regional Hospital Center in Agadir. A judicial investigation will be carried out to uncover all circumstances surrounding the death.

The Ait Amira commune has reportedly witnessed numerous similar incidents in the past, with other newborns found abandoned, both deceased and alive, in various local neighborhoods. These previous cases also prompted judicial investigations aimed at identifying those responsible.
