Doctors confirmed the little girl was born alive and was just five days old when she was mutilated and abandoned.
A specialist dog assisted cops in the investigations at the waste plant.
Local cops launched "Operation Natal" in a bid to "get justice" for the dead infant.

He told The Sun: 'On the inside of her right arm there is a mark from this coercion. Advertisement 'She was, so to say, branded - a hot iron was pressed on her arm. 'She was forced to do this - there was both psychological and physical pressure, the trace of which is still visible.

However, we have grounds to assume that this group also had local accomplices, including in Thailand.'

Mr Salakaia told The Sun: 'They marked this luggage, approached Bella and asked her: 'Is this your luggage?' 'She said: 'This was sent, it is not mine, I do not know what this is, but I was told I would be met, but who, I don't know.'
