Suffolk: Inquest into death of baby found at recycling centre opened

An inquest has been opened into the death of a baby girl found at a recycling centre in Suffolk earlier in May.

The child, known only as Baby S, was found by a member of staff at the centre in Needham Market in Suffolk on 14 May.

Police have since asked for the baby's mother to come forward, saying they are concerned for her wellbeing.

Following the discovery, detective chief superintendent Eamonn Bridger, said police "reasonably suspect that the baby was less than 48 hours old".

He said the mother would be "needing emotional support and urgent medical care".

"There is no doubt that she may be frightened but it is very important that we reach her or we speak to someone who might know her," he said.

The cause of death was provisionally recorded as "undetermined", adding further tests are required and could take some time.

Newborn baby's body found at Suffolk recycling centre

The body of a baby has been found at a recycling centre, as police say they believe the newborn could have been collected by a waste disposal team during their rounds.

Suffolk Police yesterday said that the body of the baby girl, who was discovered at Sackers Yard Recycling Centre in Needham Market, may have been taken there in a refuse collection from the Ipswich area.

Officers were called to the Ipswich Road recycling centre where she was found by staff at 3pm on Thursday.

The baby is understood to have been born within a 48-hour period before the discovery and appeared to have been carried to full term, or close to full term.

But police said it was too early to establish if the baby had been alive for any of that 48-hour period.

Sackers Yard said they believed the body had been found very quickly after it arrived on site.

"We currently suspect the baby was brought in through refuse collection, rather than deposited at the site."

Police want anyone who has any information that may assist the investigation to speak to them as soon as possible.

Urgent Christmas plea to find mum of newborn baby girl found dead at recycling centre after she was dumped in a bin
As part of the probe, officers have scoured more than 11,000 hours of CCTV footage and visited over 800 addresses.

Items were seized at the recycling centre but none of them proved helpful in the search for the baby's parents.

A Home Office post-mortem examination was held on May 19, with the initial findings needed more investigation.

DI Karl Nightingale said: "We are still investigating the tragic circumstances that led to this newborn baby girl being found.

“Although it has been just over seven months since she was found, we want to reassure everyone that we are doing all we can; remaining determined and hopeful of identifying her parents.

Baby found dead at Suffolk scrap yard 'not forgotten', say police

The baby - known as Baby S - still remains unidentified four years after her body was discovered.

Baby found dead at scrapyard 'not forgotten'​

14 May 2024

A police force has said the baby who was discovered dead at a recycling centre four years ago "has not been forgotten".

The body of an unidentified girl known as Baby S was found at Sackers facility in Needham Market, Suffolk on 14 May 2020.

It was thought she was less than 24 hours old and an inquest in 2022 found she died from a traumatic brain injury.

Suffolk Police said the investigation into her death "remains ongoing".

A force spokesperson said the investigation "includes DNA work to try and locate any potential relatives of Baby S".

"Other inquiries continue as part of an ongoing review process," they said.

"Whilst it is four years since the discovery of Baby S, she has not been forgotten and we are still seeking any information that may assist us in identifying the parents of Baby S."

Oh God, so a newborn was beaten or slammed. All I needed to see. Not.

I would have figured suffocated.

They can look for the mom but I hope they are not ignoring the possibility that she may not have been the one to do this. It could have been a family member or the father. Not that she doesn't need to be found and interrogated, because she does.

They should have a camera on the grave, however, if someone did not want her, it is unlikely they'd go to the grave but who knows.

People are so damned sick and evil.

I'd think they'd be trying the genealogy path.

Whether the mom did it or not, she knows the baby is gone and she has missed her chance to come in willingly. They will be prosecuting her arse I'd think when they do find her now. She'd be smart to wish up and turn herself in and plead for a deal even if in my opinion, she should lose that chance not coming forward sooner.

Suffolk Police in fresh bid to find parents of Baby S

Police in fresh bid to trace parents of Baby S​

A police force has launched a fresh bid to trace the parents of a baby found dead at a recycling plant five years ago.

On the anniversary of the discovery of Baby S, Suffolk Police is asking the public to review bin collection points to help them find the relatives of the newborn.

Det Insp Dan Connick, of the joint major investigations team, said: "There's no-one advocating for that child, there's no family we can identify, so someone's got to be the voice of that child."

He revealed the two routes - red and blue - that bin lorries at the time would have taken, but added that while the infant was "most likely" picked up on the blue route, the red route could not be ruled out.

"The bins being collected were industrial bins from companies but some were behind locked gates," Det Insp Connick told the BBC.

"We're here to find the answers, there's help available if that's what's needed. There's a father out there, grandparents, potentially siblings."

The newly-released red route runs between Rattlesden and Wherstead, passing through Barking, Needham Market, Claydon, Sproughton and Ipswich, whilst the blue route runs from outside Darmsden to Washbrook, through Ipswich before reaching Brightwell.

It is not clear whether the parents would face criminal charges for the disposal of the baby's body.

Det Insp Connick added: "Until people come forward and tell us what happened we're not able to give any answers to what the outcome might be.

A full DNA profile for the mother has been found and that is currently being searched against a national database.

Officers also have a partial DNA profile for the father and have conducted a "complex" investigation involving familial DNA searches which has taken them across the country.

No match has yet been made for either parent.

From the DNA profile gathered the officers have confirmed the baby was either black or had mixed ethnicity.

This is the percentage of black/mixed race in Suffolk. 2.3%. So the pool is very small, 3% at most.

Also, if this mother was not even on any records, for example the electoral roll, it would be impossible to trace her.

Suffolk is a very rural county, and many temporary workers are employed in the agricultural trade, eg picking potatoes, turnips, sugar beet etc. They will not be documented in detail. It is very sad but i can see no chance this baby will ever be identified.
