A newborn baby who had been missing since Friday was found dead in a wooded area near Halifax, Canada on Sunday.Police charged two relatives of the infant’s mother with concealing the child’s body and obstructing investigators.Halifax Regional Police said the infant’s remains were discovered at about 3:20 pm in woods off Old Coach Road in Goodwood.The accused, 23-year-old Sukhpreet Singh and his wife, 26-year-old Ramandeep Kaur, were due to appear in Halifax provincial court on Monday. Police said Singh is related to the 23-year-old woman who gave birth shortly before being taken to hospital in critical condition.Both face charges of concealing the body of a child, obstruction, and offering an indignity to a dead body.The investigation began late Friday after hospital staff alerted police that a young woman had arrived in life-threatening condition and appeared to have recently given birth, but no baby was with her.Emergency crews had earlier responded to a distress call at a residence on Willet Street in Clayton Park, where the woman was found and taken to hospital. Officers later searched the property but could not locate the newborn.Staff Sgt. Pierre Bourdages said four people known to the woman were taken into custody for questioning over the weekend. Two were later released, while Singh and Kaur were charged.The Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service is expected to conduct an autopsy to determine the infant’s identity, along with the cause and manner of death.Police said the woman remains in hospital in critical condition, but investigators do not believe she was injured through violence.“Police believe the woman experienced a medical emergency and do not believe her condition is the result of violence,” Halifax Regional Police said in a statement.Bourdages said investigators have not yet been able to speak with the woman because of her medical condition.The discovery of the infant’s body has shaken the community.“We have officers that have younger families, we have officers that have young babies,” said Bourdages outside police headquarters on Sunday.They added: “It is hard for everybody in the community. It’s hard for everyone in the department.”
