A DNA test has confirmed that a baby found abandoned in a shopping bag in Newham is biologically related to two other babies found in the London borough.
The test revealed that Baby Elsa is related to two other infants, Baby Harry and Baby Roman, who were abandoned in the local area in September 2017 and January 2019 respectively.
All three babies are currently in the care of Newham Council.
Detective inspector Jamie Humm said: ‘We have worked 24/7 in each of these three cases to identify the parents, so far without success.
‘We have also had to be mindful of the sensitivities that exist now all of the children are being cared for. Their welfare, including their privacy, is paramount.’
