A baby girl whose body was found on a north Wales shoreline has been given the name Ceri by police.

The body was found by a member of the public on the Menai Strait shoreline near Siliwen Road in Bangor, Gwynedd, on 27 September shortly before 17:00 BST.

A post-mortem examination revealed the newborn may have been in the water for up to a few weeks. North Wales Police was still searching for the mother and urged her to contact them.

Officers are also appealing to anyone who routinely walked in the Ashley Fields areas of Bangor since 30 August to come forward.

Supt Llinos Davies said the force remains "determined to get answers" for baby Ceri.

"All possible lines of enquiry are being followed, and we are awaiting results from several specialist tests, which we hope may provide us with new avenues to explore," she said.

The force is also asking for any photos or videos taken in and around the Menai Straits shoreline in Siliwen within 30 August to 27 September to be uploaded to the force's major incident public portal.

The director of midwifery and women's services for Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board Fiona Giraud also appealed directly to the mother to come forward.

Davies said a trained specialist whose role was "simply to listen, understand and help" would speak to her.

"This is not a conversation you need to be afraid of. You will be treated with compassion, dignity and respect.

The phone number is to strictly only be used by the mother to seek specialist help, the force said.

Davies added: "I want to thank the community for their support as we continue our appeals for information.

"Anybody who has had concerns for a woman or girl in recent months is asked to come forward.

"We are not asking anyone to make assumptions or accusations. Something that appears insignificant or has an entirely innocent explanation may nevertheless be crucial to finding the truth for baby Ceri."
