Crimewatch Appeal For Baby Boy
Police investigating the murder of a baby boy, whose body was found in a stream in England, will tonight make a TV appeal for information.
The body was found in Spen Brook, off Carr Lane in Kirkham, on 1 October.
It is understood that the baby was only two months old and it is now believed he has been in the water five days before being discovered.
The police will launch the televised appeal on Crime Watch.
Det Supt Neil Esseen said he hoped the appeal would provide the "crucial piece of information" officers needed.
He added: "Hopefully someone, somewhere, maybe even the mother of the baby herself, will see the programme and come forward."
