Rachael Davies admits concealing a birth
The sentencing has been delayed of a woman who left her newborn baby's body by a Warwickshire river.

Rachel Davies, 26, from Alcester, in Warwickshire, has already pleaded guilty to concealment of birth.

She appeared at Warwick Crown Court earlier but her lawyer said she needed more psychiatric assessment and the case will be heard next month.

The baby, nicknamed Lilly, was found by the River Alne last May. She suffered a fractured skull and collarbone.
