The autopsy of a nine-month-old infant who was found dead in its mother’s car on Friday will be carried out by forensic pathologist Angeliki Papetta on Saturday.

The autopsy is expected to demonstrate the exact cause of the infant’s death.

Meanwhile, the police are expected to examine the car in which the child died, while statements are still being taken about where the vehicle was parked during the day and how many hours the child was in the car.

Employees at the child’s nursery school, family members of the infant, and people with whom the mother worked are expected to be called to give statements.

A police spokesman confirmed to the Cyprus Mail that no arrests have been made thus far.

It is currently believed that the mother went to work on Friday morning believing she had dropped her child at nursery school but had in fact left it in the car all day.

It was only when she arrived at the nursery school later in the day that she realised the child had been in the car all day, and that it was unconscious.

The child was taken to hospital, but doctors were unable to resuscitate it.

The police’s investigation into the matter is ongoing.
