Skeletal Remains of Infant Discovered in Suitcase in Stockport Home
In a startling discovery, the skeletal remains of a baby boy were found concealed inside a suitcase in the attic of a semi-detached house in Stockport, near Manchester.
The identity of the infant remains unknown, and authorities were unable to determine the exact time of his death. It’s possible that this tragic incident occurred as far back as 1959.
This distressing revelation came to light on March 6 of the previous year, leading to the initiation of an inquest into the boy’s death. Senior coroner Alison Mutch noted that DNA tests established a connection to the family residing in the house.
Explaining the circumstances, she said, “I believe the family was in the process of clearing the property when they stumbled upon a suitcase in one of the rooms. To their shock, they found these remains inside it.”
Greater Manchester Police reported, “On March 6, 2022, just after 11.30 am, we received a report of remains discovered at an address on Berwick Avenue in Stockport. These remains are believed to be of historical significance, and there is no indication that this discovery is linked to any ongoing investigation. Enquiries are currently underway.”
This somber and mysterious incident continues to be under investigation by authorities.
