A baby boy found at a recycling centre could hae been dumped in a household bin, police have said today. Detectives have narrowed down the area that a baby boy found at a recycling centre may have come from as the investigation into his death continues.
The new-born has since been ‘named’ Gabriel by medical staff due to his discovery at the centre, in Ely Road, Waterbeach, on 29 November, just before the start of advent. A post-mortem examination carried out on December 5 returned inconclusive results about how he died.
Police continue their efforts, together with partners, to get to the bottom of what happened to him. Recent enquiries with recycling centre staff have revealed it is likely the baby may have come from recycling collected from household blue bins in Peterborough and its surrounding villages, March, Whittlesey, Melbourn or streets off Mill Road in Cambridge.
