A mentally ill woman who lived rough in a London graveyard has admitted burying her newborn baby alive.

The crime was discovered when the baby’s body parts, which had been dug up and carried by a fox, were found by a worker in a tractor yard in south-west London.

Latvian Elita Amantova, 39, told the Old Bailey she was living off berries and bread left out for birds before she gave birth to the child in 2012.

She had been diagnosed with a schizophrenia-like mental condition in Latvia in her thirties that had been made worse by childbirth.

Amantova pleaded guilty to infanticide and has been sentenced to a hospital order. The judge said that she would probably need lifelong treatment and care.

The court heard that on 10 September 2012, a worker found a baby’s decaying leg and foot on the ground at the tractor yard next to Tooting Common.

Prosecutor Zoe Johnson QC said: "The leg was infested with maggots. In a search, another limb was found, the thigh and calf had been eaten through exposing bone.
