A REWARD of £10,000 is being offered to find the killer of a newborn baby, nearly two years after she was found in a Hampshire park.

Put up by charity Crimestoppers, the cash incentive is aimed at finally find who murdered the baby, after her body was found by a ground maintenance worker in Manor Park, Aldershot, on May 19, 2017.

The worker made the discovery while clearing shrubbery beds in the park, a short distance from the footpath that runs alongside the main A323 Ash Road.

Detectives from Hampshire Constabulary’s Major Crime Team believe the little girl was born near the park and then died as a result of deliberate head injuries.

It is not known how long she was alive before being killed.

But police believe she was left in the park between 6pm on Monday, May 15 and 8am on Tuesday, May 16 and are still appealing for witnesses to come forward.

Emily van der Lely, Crimestoppers Hampshire manager, said: “This is a particularly distressing case and one of the worst I’ve ever been involved with. To think that a new born baby is murdered shortly after birth in a park is shocking for the community and we are keen to have answers as to what happened and who was involved.

“DNA from the mother (which was taken from blood at the scene) and from the baby suggests the victim was born to parents who are of East Asian origin.

“Witnesses have come forward and spoken of seeing a woman of Asian origin acting furtively in the area where the body was found and also three men of Asian origin seen on the morning of the 16 May.

“Investigators who have asked our charity to put up this reward believe that someone in the community either knows or has strong reasons to suspect who the mother is.

"We hope that our reward for information given anonymously will help prompt someone’s conscience to speak up and tell us what they know."

She added: “Everyone who contacts us stays 100% anonymous. Always. We’ve kept this promise for over 30 years.

“Our charity is here to help people speak up about crime with the ultimate aim of keeping people and our communities safe from harm.”
