Police appeal to identify woman found in the River Mersey

Her cause of death has not been confirmed and enquiries are ongoing.

Officers have been unable to identify the woman, who is described as around 5 ft 1, with medium dark hair. Her approximate age and definitive ethnicity is not currently known. She did not have any identifiable items in her pockets and was not wearing jewellery.

Police have released an image of a lime green Primark-branded crop-top – which is believed to be the same as the one she was wearing – as they continue their efforts to reunite her with her next-of-kin.

She was also wearing New Look jeans in size 8 and non-slip style socks.

Detective chief inspector Kulbir Kaur, from Greater Manchester Police, said: “Our work is ongoing to identify the woman and we hope that the description of her – and the image of the top – will help spur the memory of someone who may know her or saw her last movements.

“We are keeping an open-mind as to her cause of death and further enquiries will take place within the coming days.

“We want nothing more than to reunite this woman with her next-of-kin, so if you have any information at all, please do get in touch with us. Even if you think it is something inconsequential, it could greatly benefit our investigation.”

If you have any information, you can call GMP’s City of Manchester CID on 0161 856 6051, quoting log number 1191 of 21/03/24. You can also call 101 or visit gmp.police.uk to report information.
