Of the Caucasian type, the little girl was found in a light color cover around 4:30 p.m. by a passerby, specifies the Belgian local police from Val de l’Escaut.
To find the person (s) who deposited it below the national 50 in Warcoing on the towpath, the judicial direction of the operations of the Belgian federal police launched a call for witnesses, following the request of an investigating judge of Tournai.
The police would have only few elements today, if it is only a small group (two?) Fishermen and a vehicle were present not far from the place where the little girl was found between Saturday April 26, 00:00 and 4:30. But several checks must still be carried out.
