Body of newborn baby boy found at Waterbeach recycling centre

The body of a newborn baby has been found at a recycling centre in Waterbeach.

Police have launched an investigation after being called to the site in Ely Road at noon yesterday (November 29) following the discovery of the little boy.

The force are appealing for anyone with any information to get in touch and are keeping an open mind as to the circumstances.

Det Supt John Massey said: “This is an incredibly sad and upsetting incident for everyone involved and we are in the process of trying to establish more details about what has happened.

“We would like to make a direct appeal to the baby boy’s mother to get in touch with us – it may be she needs medical care or is in a vulnerable situation.

“We are trying our hardest to get to the bottom of what has taken place but we cannot do that alone, so I would also appeal to the public for their help.

“Any information, no matter how small, could help the investigation run by our specialist child safeguarding team; even if that is given anonymously to us or Crimestoppers.”

Anyone with information is urged to pass it to the force online via the Major Incident Public Portal. If anyone has immediate concerns for someone’s safety, police urge them to call 999.
