Baby

Age: 2

Sex: female

Date: 8 May 1902

Place: Bradford Midland Railway Station

The body of a female baby was found in the parcels office of Bradford Midland Railway Station.

Attendants at the left luggage office that had complained of a disagreeable smell for a couple of days traced it to a jam box numbered 443 that had been taken on 19 March 1902. The box was wrapped in brown paper which appeared to be new and was tied round with some red blind cord. When they found it they sent for the police and the box was opened to reveal the decomposed body of a 2 year old girl wrapped in a sheet.
