Story summary
A newborn baby girl's body was found on a beach near Siliwen Road in Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales, on Sunday evening. The discovery prompted an immediate investigation by North Wales Police. Medical experts believe the infant may have been in water for up to several weeks before washing ashore, possibly swept through the Menai Strait from elsewhere in Britain or Ireland.
Fiona Giraud, director of women's services for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, appealed directly to the baby’s mother, emphasizing concern for her health and safety. Police have expressed fears that the mother may be extremely vulnerable and are urging her to seek help without fear of identification. The post-mortem examination took place on Wednesday, but police continue their efforts to locate the mother, conducting house-to-house inquiries and reviewing CCTV footage.
