Sick sad world
A 15-year-old girl has been identified as the mother of baby Aaron, the newborn found in a Hastings sewer.
The stillborn baby was discovered by a plumber on January 24. It is thought the body was flushed down a toilet around five days earlier.
Detective Senior Sergeant Sam Aberahama says DNA tests were taken from 30 women who either live at, or recently visited houses connected to the sewer.
He says one of the samples taken from a visiting teenage girl has confirmed she was the boy's mother.
Detective Senior Sergeant Aberahama says the girl has been medically examined and referred for a family group conference.
