Baby

The body of a newly born infant was found in a suitcase at 44 Nightingale Road in Southsea on 13 March 1953.

It was found by a policeman at 6.30pm on 13 March 1953 when he went to the address. The policeman said that he later went to Holloway Prison on 20 March 1953 where he interviewed a woman, but she refused to make a statement. A report was sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions, but they advised the police not to take any criminal proceedings.
