Police are investigating the death of an unidentified woman after her body is found inside a black bin bag in Stanley Park, Liverpool. Officers say the woman is believed to be in her 70s, and they treat the case as a murder.
Multiple outlets report that a member of the public finds the body in a walled-garden area of the park around 5.25pm on Friday 28 August, prompting police to be called. The Independent and the Independent’s related coverage, along with others, say the body may have been in the bin bag for a number of weeks, though details vary in how long investigators believe it has been there. Police appeal for anyone with information to come forward and are seeking to identify the woman and understand how she arrived at the park.
News reports focus on the circumstances of the discovery—location, time, and the bin bag setting—while the differing emphasis is mainly on how long the body may have been undiscovered and the specific descriptions of what witnesses saw.
