Detectives investigating the murder of a baby girl found at Fleet train station on Wednesday, May 26 have released more details to try and trace the child’s mother.

The body of the newborn girl was discovered by a cleaner emptying bins at the front of the station just before 11.30am.

The child’s body had been wrapped up and hidden inside a Morrisons reusable carrier bag.

Among the contents were a pink KAOS carrier bag, a pink drawstring bag and a pair of size 12 Denim Co skinny fit jeans which had been cut into shorts.

Images of the two carrier bags, the drawstring bag and the jeans have now been released in an attempt to trace the child’s mother.

Detective Superintendent Jason Hogg, from the Major Crime department, said: “There is a strong possibility that the jeans found in the bag belong to the baby’s mother, and we hope that by releasing this image it may jog someone’s memory as to who she is.

“What is significant about these jeans is that they are ‘homemade’ shorts, rather than shop bought ones, so again someone may know a friend or family member that this could be.

“From our enquiries so far, we believe that the Morrisons carrier bag was used to carry the baby’s body and other contents and we would like to hear from anyone who may have seen someone carrying a yellow bag near to Fleet train station, or saw someone putting it in the bin on Wednesday morning.

“The pink KAOS carrier bag is significant as there are only four of these stores in the south of England. Again, this carrier bag was found within the contents of the Morrisons bag so it may help identify the person who left the baby at the station.

“The last image is of a pink drawstring bag, which is quite distinctive. If you recognise any of these items, please contact us.

"As we’ve already said, our absolute priority remains trying to trace this baby's mother as a matter of urgency. I would appeal directly to her to please go to her nearest hospital or call 999 and ask for an ambulance. We can ensure she receives the help and care she needs.

“If you are a relative or friend of the baby’s mother and are worried about contacting the police, I would like to reassure you that we share your concerns for her well-being. You can contact us in confidence and we will treat her sensitively.”
