Breaking: Charges laid after baby found dead at Adelaide motel
South Australia's police minister says charges have been laid following the death of an infant, who was found by police at the Tollgate Motel on Saturday.
South Australian police have announced charges have been laid in connection with the death of an infant found at the Tollgate Motel on Saturday. SA Police Minister Michael Brown made the announcement at a press conference this morning, though he did not specify which charges were laid or against whom. The minister expressed regret for the lack of additional information at this stage.
Premier Peter Malinauskas had previously revealed that the child's parents were not known to the state's child protection agency. Police and ambulances responded to the motel, located near the South Eastern Freeway and about five kilometres southeast of the Adelaide CBD, on Saturday morning. Eyewitnesses reported the presence of approximately 20 officers at the scene before they established a cordon and departed by mid-afternoon.
Police have stated that the investigation is ongoing, and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
