Police investigate the death of an unidentified woman after her body is found inside a black bin bag in Stanley Park, Anfield, Liverpool. Officers are called after a member of the public makes the discovery around 5.25pm on August 28, according to reports from multiple outlets. Sky News and others describe the death as a murder investigation.
The victim is reported to be a woman in her 70s, white, about 5ft 2ins, and of a small build, with strawberry blonde hair. Police say forensic tests produce a DNA profile, but it does not match the national database, and detectives believe the body could have been in the park for weeks. Metro reports investigators have ruled out more than 70 possible matches by following up leads from local residents.
Across coverage, outlets also note police enquiries including door-to-door checks and attempts to identify the woman through CCTV. Metro says officers have knocked on more than 600 doors and reviewed footage from around 30 cameras. Police appeals mention the woman was wearing a pink Nike T-shirt, with images of a similar top released, and ask anyone who saw suspicious activity or flew drones over the park to contact investigators.
