By Dogs search home in Portsmouth baby death case
Neighbours have expressed their shock as sniffer dogs search a home in Portsmouth, following the arrest of three local women in relation to the murder of a newborn baby girl.
Crime scene officers and two handlers with police dogs from Hampshire Police have been seen going in and out of a property in the eight-home terraced block in All Saints Road in Portsmouth.
The property is about a minute’s walk from the corner of Victoria Street and Old Commercial Road where the baby girl was found dead at 6.18am on January 25.
This morning detectives from Hampshire police’s major crime team arrested three women, 39, 21 and 20, all from the city, on suspicion of conspiring to murder the infant girl.
They were arrested in the city, and are being held in custody where they will be questioned.
A small police presence is in the street, with three uniformed officers and a police van parked near the house at the centre of the search.
Officers had previously made enquiries in the street during the investigation, residents said.
