The unknown infant, named 'Callum' by police, was found strangled in woodland in 1998
The unknown infant was found strangled and wrapped in plastic in a wooded area of Callands, near Warrington , on the morning of March 14, 1998. He was named Callum by detectives after the place where his body was found. Callum was believed to have been just a few hours old when he died.
Today, April 15, police rearrested the 54-year-old woman and the Crown Prosecution Service has now authorised Cheshire Police to charge Joanne Sharkey, of West Derby, in Liverpool with murder. Detective Inspector Hannah Friend, of Cheshire Police’s Major Crime Review Team, said: “I understand that this is an extremely emotional case which has attracted a lot of attention over the past twenty-six years, however I would ask people not to speculate.
