Police and prosecutor's office officials said 20-year-old Leah Andrew fainted after giving evidence for six hours on the island of Crete.

Andrew, from south east London, who had been discharged from hospital earlier, is being charged with infanticide.

Police say she gave birth alone in her hotel room at a holiday resort on Crete early on Monday.

Meanwhile, a state coroner says the baby boy died of suffocation.

Magistrate Evdokia Gioki has ordered that Andrew serve pre-trial detention after receiving medical treatment, officials from her office said.
