GMP continue to investigate baby death
The body of newborn 'Baby Ava' was found in Little Hulton a month ago
Greater Manchester Police are marking a month since the tragic discovery of 'Baby Ava's remains by Ashtons Field, Little Hulton.
An investigation was immediately launched and has been ongoing ever since, trying to get answers about what happened to her.
The little girl's cause of death remains unascertained, all possible lines of enquiry are being followed, and police say they are awaiting results from several specialist tests, in the hope they will provide new avenues to explore.
The force says officers presence within the community has been constant over the past month, with more than 1,000 flyers appealing for information given out to those living and working locally.
The tributes and gifts laid for Baby Ava from the community have been donated to a number of charities and care homes.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley from GMP's Major Incident Team said: “The tributes to Baby Ava have now made their way to their forever homes, and we would like to thank the community who have come together and shown immense support for her and our officers who are investigating this case.
“We are still committed to establishing who Ava’s mum is and the full circumstances that led to her and Ava being separated.
“Our determination to get answers for Ava is unrelenting and will continue throughout the festive period and beyond. We ask anyone who may have information which could help us, no matter how small, to come forward to us, as this may provide the key to unlocking the investigation.”
