A funeral has been held for a baby girl who was found dead at a recycling centre in Suffolk two years ago.

Known as Baby S, the infant was discovered at Sackers in Needham Market on 14 May 2020 .

Her parents or next of kin have never been found.

She was buried at the Millennium Cemetery earlier today during a private ceremony.

Police are still appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

After the funeral Suffolk Police Detective Inspector Karl Nightingale, said: “Today we have laid this new-born baby girl to rest.

“Known only as Baby S at this time, we remain keen to establish the facts of what happened to her prior to her discovery on 14 May 2020.

“We have always kept an open mind of what led to her being placed into a bin.

“Time has moved on, but we remain unclear about this little girl’s story.

“After nearly two years people’s lives have changed. Very few may know the truth about this girl’s story.

“Now is the time to come forward and share with us the details of her short life and give this little baby girl her proper name.”

It's believed the new born was taken to Sackers on the same day her body was found.

Its thought she was inside one of two waste trucks wich brought commercial waste to the site from 52 different locations.

Police have reviewed 11,000 hours of CCTV footage and have visited more than 800 addresses during the investigation.

Baby S died during the first lockdown in 2020 and its believed her parents may have been in contact with fewer people during that time.
