A newborn baby who was found dead in a snowy field could have died and been kept in a fridge for two to three years before she was found, it’s been revealed.

The baby girl, named Ava by police, was found by a dog being walked at Ashtons Field in Little Hulton, Greater Manchester, on November 21 of last year.

It’s thought Ava was at 39 weeks gestation and may have been stillborn – and police have been trying to find the baby’s mother ever since.

Now Greater Manchester Police have shared the latest findings of their investigation – including that Ava could have died years before her body was then buried in a 12cm deep grave.

It’s thought a badger, fox, or other wildlife brought her body to the surface before she was found by the dog walker in the snow-covered field last November.
