Eleven domestic workers have been arrested in Hong Kong on suspicion of "child destruction" and illegal abortions, police have said.
The women, in their 30s and 40s, were rounded up after one was found at her employer's home with a dead foetus, later confirmed to be at least 28 weeks old.
Police also found drugs they suspected were abortion pills - which eventually led them to the 10 other women.
Five have since been charged, while five are on bail and one has been remanded in custody for further investigation. If found guilty of the most serious charge, child destruction, they could face a life sentence.
The investigation began in June after paramedics were called to help a 39-year-old domestic worker, who had collapsed at her employer's home.
