The woman who abandoned her newborn daughter in a trash bin in Punta del Este last Thursday was indicted on Sunday for especially aggravated murder. This is a 30-year-old woman from Rivera that had reached the main resort of the country to work as a maid for a family Argentina who was staying in the Recalada building.

"It's a strong and very cynical woman," judicial sources expressed in this station, because during the interrogation "she has not dropped a tear or show any remorse".

According to what was declared the woman gave birth alone in the bathroom of her room. She said she thought the child was stillborn and so wiped all the blood and birth fluids, wrapped in a bag and threw it into the general trash from the building.

The body was discovered on Thursday 7, just after 19:00, by two scavengers. The forensic reports found that the child lived between 12 and 24 hours before dying of starvation and lack of assistance.

For researchers and judges women's version was never credible. The maid was easily located as several of her colleagues in the building began to relate facts. The girl's skin was the same color as that of the maid whom they had seen pregnant.

The process requested to be transferred to a prison Rivera.
