The only DNA found on the handle of a freezer inside which a dead three-month-old baby was discovered belonged to the infant’s mother, a New South Wales inquest has heard.

Almost three years after the infant’s body was discovered by police in a home in Corowa, on the NSW-Victoria border, a coronial inquiry on Monday morning in Albury began looking into the circumstances around the 2022 death.
