Baby

The body of a newly-born child was found in a ditch on Holywater Meadows in Bury.

It was found by an 11-year-old boy who lived in Boyne Road as he was fishing in the ditch. He said that he thought he saw a doll lying in the bottom of the stream and that when he dragged it out with a stick, he realised that it was a baby and told the police.
