Body of baby 'found at Heathrow'

The body of a dead baby may have been dumped in a bin in the toilets at Heathrow Airport, police have said.

Officers were called on Monday morning to the Hygiene Waste Company in Park Royal, west London, after an employee found the body of a baby girl in a bin.

Police, who are treating the death as suspicious, said the clinical waste bin was believed to have been collected from the airport.

A toilet block at terminal three has been sealed off by detectives.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said a post-mortem examination has been scheduled for Wednesday.
