Baby killer could strike again inquest hears
An inquest has taken place today into the death of a baby girl found in a bin bag by police last year.
Baby "Carrie", as police investigating her death named her, was found wrapped in a bin bag in Carryduff last March. She had been stabbed 11 times.
However, it was three skull fractures inflicted on the child that resulted in her death.
Police have expressed genuine concern that the person who killed "Carrie" could be capable of striking again.
Despite a comprehensive search by police, which included DNA testing of women, the baby's mother has never been traced.
A funeral service for the unidentified child was held last August.
