Police are seeking the killer of a newborn baby girl found in Manor Park in Aldershot, Hampshire.
The unidentified child, known only as Baby M., had suffered multiple blunt force head injuries, and is believed to have died within around six hours of being born, the London Evening Standard reports.
Hampshire Police have revealed that a scientific analysis indicates that the infant, her mother, and probably her father were all of East Asian extraction, and that the killing was carried out last year between 6 pm on May 15th and 8 am on May 16th last year.
CCTV footage from around that time discovered images of two people walking by the murder scene in Ash Road 10 times, between 11.30 pm on May 15th and 12.30 am on May 16th.

“This remains a particularly sad case which despite extensive investigation we are still are nowhere nearer to identifying the newborn baby, Baby M., nor her mother,” said Detective Chief Inspector Dave Storey.
“We still would like to identify the mother and provide some support because it takes an awful lot for a mother to give birth to a child to then either kill the baby or have the baby taken away from her and killed immediately afterwards.”
DCI Storey appealed for members of the public to help resolve the case, noting: “We have a couple walking past the birth scene between 11.30pm and 12.30am and they don’t just walk past once, they walk past 10 times and we strongly believe they may be connected with the birth and subsequent murder and we are appealing for witnesses or information to identify those two persons.”
He added that the police force is “also launching some significant house-to-house inquiries in and around Manor Park to try to identify witnesses or people who have knowledge of the murder”.
