Missing foetus may still be alive

A MISSING foetus that was cut and removed from its murdered mother’s womb could still be alive, police in the US said.

Officers were searching yesterday for the newborn baby after finding 23-year-old Darlene Haynes dead in her apartment in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Ms Haynes was about eight months pregnant at the time of her murder. Authorities said her child, if alive, would need urgent medical attention.
