Mother Of Dead Baby Found

The mother of a newborn girl has been found after the child's body was discovered at a train station on Wednesday.

Police say a teenage girl has come forward and is now receiving treatment.

A white baby girl was found while emptying bins at Fleet station in Hampshire. The baby was wrapped in a plastic bag and a cleaner discovered the body at around 11.20am.

The child was pronounced dead at the scene. A murder investigation was launched after initial investigations found the baby had suffered injuries that could not have been caused during childbirth.

Detectives have asked people to respect the family's privacy as they come to terms with what has happened.
