'This tragic event has brought this fantastic community together'
Police have spoken out to thank an 'amazing' community in Salford after the body of a baby found in a field was confirmed as that of a newborn girl.
GMP said a cause of death 'remains unascertained pending further investigation' - and said the police scene at the location would likely close this weekend. In an update on Friday , police in Salford, thanked the Little Hulton community for its supports and comments, saying dozens of tributes of toys and teddies left at the scene would now be cleaned and re-distributed.
Inspector Steve Corless said: "This is an opportunity to extend the kindness the local community have provided. We can turn sorrow into joy by passing on one of Ava's tributes to somebody less fortunate. Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Whalley, from GMP's Major Incident Team, said: "We know that this case has touched the hearts of many people across Greater Manchester, and like you, we’re determined to find out what happened to this little girl. As part of our enquiries, we’re working to establish who Ava’s mum is, and all the possible scenarios and circumstances which have led to Ava being separated from her mum.
