Dog walker makes heartbreaking discovery in snow-covered Manchester field

In a snow-covered field near Little Hulton a dog-walker made an un-expected discovery yesterday afternoon (around 1pm) that prompted immediate police response. The remains of an un-identified infant were found in Ashtons Field — a location thats close to the M61 motorway bridge

Chief Superintendent Neil Blackwood leads the investigation; which police dubbed as “Baby A“ case. The police cant yet determine the infants gender or ethnic background but theyʼre following several inquiry-lines. A well-marked cordon surrounds the discovery site while forensic teams work on-site

All of this is extremely sensitive and this investigation needs to be handled with the utmost care it deserves‚ and it is going to take time

stated Ch Supt Blackwood

The Greater Manchester Police set-up a special task-force to handle this high-priority case. They ask local residents to share any info they might have: even small details could be key to solving this heart-breaking case. Anyone who noticed unusual activity in the area should contact authorities

Medical experts plan to do post-mortem tests in next couple of days. The police team emphasizes their commitment to finding answers — especially regarding the babys background and circumstances that led to this tragic situation
