A newborn baby girl who was found dead at a waste recycling centre during the first, national, coronavirus lockdown had sustained a head injury before she died, police have said. The unidentified infant, known only as Baby S, was found by a member of staff at the facility in Needham Market, Suffolk, shortly after 3pm on May 14 2020.
Two years on, Suffolk Police said DNA work is continuing to try to identify the parents of Baby S, who is believed to be from a black or mixed ethnicity background. The force said that the injuries Baby S sustained after death, from the waste processing, have hindered inquiries.
“Officers are able to confirm Baby S was born alive at full-term, however, it is not possible to say whether there was one single cause or a combination of causes of her death,” a police spokesman said.
