Baby's body found in car boot

LONDON (Reuters) - Police said on Thursday they had arrested a woman on suspicion of murder after a baby's body was found in a car boot in Yeovil, Somerset.

Two women came across the body on Saturday in some belongings they had been asked to look after for somebody else.

"An investigation has begun to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and this is expected to take some time," said a spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police.

A 20-year-old woman was arrested and released on police bail pending further inquiries.

A police source said the woman was the baby's mother and it was unlikely she would ultimately face a murder charge.
