A mother faces life imprisonment after confessing she drowned her 15-month-old daughter in the English Channel because the child was 'incompatible' with her love life.
CCTV footage has emerged of Fabienne Kabou, 36, from Senegal, pushing little Adelaide to the coast of Berck sur Mer on November 19.
The next day, Adelaide was found dead, strapped in a pushchair submerged in the water, by a fisherman.
After ten days of searching nationwide, police used DNA from the pram to trace Ms Kabou to the home she shares with a 63-year-old man in Paris, where she was arrested.
Ms Kabou, a philosophy student, told police she took the drastic move after deciding motherhood was 'incompatible' with her love life with Adelaide's father.
The case has sparked outrage as hundreds took to the streets outside the court and on the coast in a White March - a French style of demonstrating against child cruelty.
Ms Kabou had told her boyfriend, a sculptor, that she had handed over the little girl to her grandmother who had agreed to look after her in Senegal, police claim.
On Saturday, Kabou was taken under Police guard to Boulogne sur Mer and questioned for four hours by an examining judge in a closed court session.
The judge placed her under investigation for murder. She was remanded in custody pending her trial.
Her lawyer Fabienne Roy-Nansion who was present during the interrogation said that her client had made a full confession.
Arrested: She was traced to a house in an eastern suburb of Paris where she lives with a 63-year-old man
Demonstrating: A banner reads 'Our thoughts are with you, Princess' held by a teenager as inhabitants of Berck-sur-Mer, northern France take part in a White March to pay homage to little Adelaide
White March: The first White March took place in 1996 in Belgium as people showed their anger towards serial killer and child molester Marc Dutroux who kept girls in his basement
Mourning: People left flowers, toys and messages on the coast as French people express outrage in Berck
Tributes: A bouquet of white roses with a note reading 'rest in peace little angel' is left on the beach
