Police have appealed to the mother of a baby whose remains were found in a field to come forward.
The infant’s body was discovered near Ashtons Field in Little Hulton, Salford, on Wednesday.
At a press conference on Friday, Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley of Greater Manchester Police said the force did not know “ the background or circumstances that have led to this baby being separated from the mum”.
“We know this baby’s mum is somewhere out there – potentially watching this – and we appeal to anyone who may know the mum, or who had suspicions about her pregnancy, to come forward so we can find her and speak to her,” she said.
