The body of a dead child was found in a tin trunk.
The body was highly decomposed and so it was impossible to say whether it had been born alive.
It was found by a woman in the tin box wrapped up in an apron.
The tin box had been locked up.
The tin box found by the woman was in a furnished apartment occupied at that time by the woman.
