INFANTICIDE: December 27, 1902 Newent, England Baby Doe

 On December 27, 1902, a woman would go to a well for water on Botloes Green in Newent, England. She would look inside the well and thought she had seen her cat. She would ask a man to help her retrieve it from the well. Instead of a cat, it was the body of a 10-day-old baby girl.


The coroner stated that the girl had breathed and was 10 days old. She had died from neglect and want of care at birth.
