A British student has been charged with murdering her newly-born son soon after giving birth to him alone in her Greek hotel room.
Leah Andrews, a 20-year-old from London, was on holiday in Crete with her sister and a female friend when she was arrested.
According to police Ms Andrews, a mother to two other children, had kept her pregnancy secret from her companions until they found her and her baby covered in blood in the hotel room.
The body was discovered “hidden in a towel which she tried to pretend was a makeshift mop for cleaning up”, said a police spokesman.
