A newborn baby, missing since Friday, was found dead in a wooded area near Halifax, Canada on Sunday.Police accused two relatives of the infant’s mother of hiding the child’s body and obstructing investigators.Halifax Regional Police said the infant’s remains were found in woods off Old Coach Road in Goodwood about 3:20 p.m.The accused, Sukhpreet Singh, 23, and his wife Ramandeep Kaur, 26, were scheduled to appear in Halifax provincial court on Monday. Police said Singh is a relative of the 23-year-old woman, who had given birth to a child shortly before she was taken to hospital in critical condition.Both are accused of concealing the dead body of a child, obstruction and indignity to a dead body.The investigation began late Friday night when hospital staff informed police that a young woman had arrived in a life-threatening condition and appeared to have recently given birth, but there was no child with her.Emergency crews had previously responded to a distress call at a residence on Willett Street in Clayton Park, where the woman was found and taken to the hospital. Authorities later searched the property but could not locate the newborn.Staff Sgt. Pierre Bordage said four people known to the woman were detained 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 cause and manner of death as well as the identity of the infant.Police said the woman was in hospital in critical condition, but investigators believe she was injured as a result of the violence.Halifax Regional Police said in a statement, “Police believe the woman experienced a medical emergency and do not believe her condition is the result of violence.”Bourdage said investigators have not yet been able to talk to the woman because of her medical condition.The discovery of the baby’s body has shocked the community.“We have officers who have young families, we have officers who have young children,” Bordeges said outside police headquarters Sunday.He added: “It’s hard for everybody in the community. It’s hard for everybody in the department.”
