15 Years Old British Girl murder Her Baby Because She Did Not Know She Was Pregnant
The body of a baby boy was found dumped in a bin after a schoolgirl gave birth despite not knowing she was pregnant.
An investigation is underway into the circumstances surrounding the baby's death last Thursday at the house in Wesham, Lancashire.
A post-mortem examination has been conducted but the cause of the baby's death remains undetermined and further tests will be carried out.
Lancashire Police are trying to find out whether a criminal offence or an offence under the Coroner's Act has been committed. The teenager said she did not know she was pregnant until she went into labour in the bathroom of her family home in Garstang Road North.
The girl, who was interviewed by police after spending two days in hospital, has now been discharged and is being supported by family and specially trained officers. Detective Chief Inspector Gareth Willis, of Lancashire Police's Force Major Investigation Team, said: 'First and foremost my thoughts remain with all of those affected at this sad and distressing time.
'This is a sensitive and complex investigation and we remain at a relatively early stage of our enquiries. The circumstances around the baby's death remain unclear and I would continue to appeal to anyone with information to come forward.
'If you have yet to speak to police and can assist with our enquiries please contact us.
'I appreciate the continued support and co-operation from the people of Wesham at this time.'
A Lancashire Police spokeswoman said investigations are still underway and no-one has been arrested.
Anyone who can assist police with their inquiries should contact 101 quoting log 1263 of August 9.
