The Brooklyn mother of a 1-month-old boy has been arrested after the tot was found dead in their apartment on Saturday.

Gynae Kendall, 25, faces charges of concealment of a human corpse after she allegedly hid the child’s body inside her residence on Veronica Place in Flatbush.

Sources familiar with the investigation said that Kendall’s mother came to the apartment on Jan. 24 to check on little Adonnys Kendall, only to be told by Gynae Kendall that she had given the boy to his father.

Gynae Kendall’s mother, however, was not satisfied and called the police to perform a wellness check, the sources said.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers from the 67th Precinct gained entry into Gynae Kendall’s apartment and made a horrifying discovery — locating Adonnys’ body inside a duffel bag in a closet. Responding EMS units pronounced the boy dead at the scene.

The baby’s body was transferred to the Medical Examiner’s office for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Gynae Kendall, however, was taken into custody and later arrested by detectives assigned to the 67th Precinct Detective Squad. Additional charges against her may be pending the results of the ongoing investigation.
