Baby Remains Found In Audenshaw House
Police in Greater Manchester are investigating the discovery of two babies whose remains were found in a box at a house in the Audenshaw area.
It is understood the relative of an elderly woman who had recently died made the gruesome discovery when she was clearing the house on Rowcon Close on Thursday night.
A post mortem is due to be carried out to uncover the cause of death. However, a Greater Manchester police spokeswoman said the remains were most likely there for a "some time".
DNA tests will also be carried out to determine if the deceased woman was the mother.
"The bones are believed to be from two babies and had been at the address for some time," the spokeswoman said.
"A post mortem will be conducted to try and establish a cause of death. Inquiries are continuing."
No arrests have been made in the investigation.
