Police Appeal for Information After Newborn Baby Found in Bangor
Anonymous
A newborn baby’s body was found on the Menai Strait shoreline near Siliwen Road in Bangor, North Wales, shortly before 5 p.m. Sunday, prompting a police investigation. Officers are searching the area, making house-to-house inquiries and reviewing CCTV as they work to establish the circumstances; a post-mortem examination is scheduled for Wednesday. Police and health officials have appealed to the unidentified mother, as well as anyone with information, to come forward, stressing that they are particularly concerned for her health and wellbeing and that support is available.
Key Points
1
Police have not disclosed the baby’s sex, ethnicity or age. Investigators believe the body may have been carried by the tide into the Menai Strait from elsewhere in Britain or even Ireland.
2
Detective Sergeant Kelly Wynne appealed not only to the mother but also to the father and anyone who may know something, including friends, family, neighbours or colleagues. Police asked people to share concerns about someone who may have been pregnant or recently withdrawn from their usual social ties.
3
Police said information about possible mothers would be treated with the utmost discretion and that people wrongly identified could be ruled out without delay.
4
The post-mortem is scheduled to be conducted by Home Office pathologist Dr Brian Rodgers on Wednesday afternoon.
