Recycling centre baby 'from West Midlands'

The body of a baby girl found at a recycling centre may have travelled miles through the waste collection system, police said today.

Officers are working on the theory that the newborn baby's body reached the plant via a waste sorting plant in Bromsgrove, West Midlands, having been collected from waste bins in Worcester.

A worker at the plant, in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, discovered the body at about 7.30am yesterday.
