Woman living in graveyard buried baby alive

A mentally ill woman living rough in a city graveyard has admitted burying her newborn baby alive.

Latvian Elita Amantova, 39, was living off berries and bread left out for the birds in Tooting, south-west London, before she gave birth to the child in 2012, a court heard.

The tragic death was discovered after a fox dug up the baby on Tooting Common and dumped body parts in a nearby tractor yard.
