Police continue investigation following discovery of baby remains

Police are continuing to investigate following the discovery of a baby’s remains in Little Hulton.

The baby, named ‘Baby A’, was found on Ravenscraig Road, near Ashtons Field, by a passerby.

There is currently a crime scene in place and an increased presence of officers in the area.

At this stage, detectives are following several lines of enquiry, and working with local partner agencies to understand who this baby could be, how long they have been here, and how they have sadly died.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “I want to reassure residents that we will do all we can to find out what has happened here. The most important thing for us right now is to find answers for this baby and I would urge anyone who has any information at all to get in touch with us.

“If you have seen anyone in the area over the last few days, or know who the parents could be, please call us as soon as you can.

“The thoughts of everyone at Greater Manchester Police are with Baby A, and we will do everything we can to get answers.

“We would like to thank the community for their tributes to Baby A and their support and compassion at this time. We are truly grateful.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 101 quoting log 1319 of 20/11/24. To remain anonymous, call independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
