A baby girl who was cut from her mother's womb has been found alive and two people were arrested in the woman's killing, police said.
The girl, whose mother's body was found on Tuesday in a closet at her flat, appeared to be in "fairly good health" at a hospital in the US.
Julie Corey, 35, and a male companion were arrested in Plymouth, New Hampshire, where police found them with the child. Friends had told police they were suspicious of Corey's claims she had given birth.
The baby's mother, Darlene Haynes, was eight months pregnant. Darlene's body was found by her landlord, William Thompson, who said a "horrifying smell" led him to her apartment, where he found her body wrapped in bedding in a closet. Her death was ruled a homicide.
Police said the 23-year-old had apparently been dead for several days, and that she hadn't contacted family or friends since Thursday of last week.
It was not until an autopsy on Tuesday that authorities discovered the fetus was missing.
Corey, who police said had reportedly gone to New Hampshire to relocate, arrived at a Plymouth homeless shelter on Tuesday night.
She told workers there that the girl was six days old and identified herself as the mother, but had no information on the child, according to the Union Leader newspaper in New Hampshire.
Corey was arrested as she tried to leave the shelter with the infant after workers alerted police and a nurse began photographing the baby with her cell phone, the newspaper reported.
The exact cause of Haynes' death has not yet been determined pending toxicology tests, but Worcester Police Detective Capt. Edward J. McGinn Jr. said the autopsy indicated Haynes suffered head injuries.

I just can't understand some people in the world today.
