Wednesday, March 26, 2025 - The body of a newborn baby has been found in a bag outside a church in Notting Hill, west London.
Metropolitan Police are urgently appealing for the mother to come
forward "for her own welfare".
The force said police officers and the ambulance service were called to
the end of Talbot Road, on Powis Gardens, at 12.46pm on Tuesday, March 25, but
the baby was declared de@d at the scene.
The gender and exact age of the child have not yet been
established.
Superintendent Owen Renowden called it an "extremely sad and
shocking matter".
He said: "This investigation is in the early stages and our
immediate priority is to locate the baby's mother, who we believe may have very
recently given birth.
"If you are the baby's mother and are reading this, please come
forward to police or medical professionals.
"You must feel very frightened but please let us help - we are
really worried about you and it is vitally important you get medical assistance
and support. You can walk into any hospital, or a police station.".
