Ipswich baby death: Post-mortem tests on newborn baby due as teenage girl is questioned

A post-mortem examination is due to take place to find out how a newborn baby at the centre of a murder investigation died.

The infant was discovered outside a property in Norwich Road, Ipswich, at 12.35pm on Saturday.

A teenage girl and two men in their 30s, all arrested on suspicion of murder, have been released on bail.

Paramedics and the police were called to Wilbury House where the baby was found but the child was already dead, said Suffolk Police.

A Home Office post-mortem was due to take place on Tuesday to find out the cause of death.

They said: "The two men have now been released on bail until 6 February pending further inquiries, while the female currently remains in police custody for questioning, having arrived at Martlesham police investigation centre at a later time than the men."

Detectives are treating the baby's death as an isolated incident, and extra patrols will be carried out in the area.

A small police cordon remains within Wilbury House, which is registered as a house of multiple occupancy.
