Baby Lilly case sentence delayed

Rachael Davies admitted concealing a birth

Sentencing has been delayed in the case of a woman whose stillborn child was found on a Warwickshire riverbank.

Rachael Davies, 26, of Wharrage Road, Alcester, admitted concealing the birth of her daughter, whose body was found near the River Alne in May 2006.

Davies was convicted in March after police used DNA testing to link her to the child, nicknamed Lilly by officers.

She had been due to be sentenced on Friday, but the hearing was adjourned because the judge was unavailable.

She is now scheduled to appear at Warwick Crown Court on 15 August to be sentenced.

The body was discovered at Aston Cantlow in May 2006 and Davies was arrested seven months later.
