In May 1982, the body of a newborn baby girl was found in a carrier bag near Northampton railway station.&nbsp;

According to an article published in the Northampton Chronicle and Echo in December 2019, the baby was reportedly found strangled and wrapped in cloth.

The baby girl was buried in Towcester Road Cemetery in November 1982. In 2019, the baby girl was given a headstone after a campaign by a former local vicar.
