Court grants police further extension to question three people on Bridgend baby deaths

Magistrates have granted a warrant of further detention for two men and a woman who have been arrested on suspicion of concealing the birth of a child.

At Newport Magistrates’ Court yesterday (Tuesday, 29 November) afternoon, additional time was granted authorising the further detention of all three.

Two men, aged 37 and 47, and a 29-year-old woman had been arrested in Wildmill, Bridgend, on the evening of Saturday, November 26, on suspicion of concealing the birth of a child following the discovery of the bodies of two babies.

Police had already been given one 36 hour extension to question the three at Merthyr magistrates Court on Saturday (26 November).

South Wales Police say their investigation is continuing, and anyone with information concerning this incident, and who has not already spoken to the police, is asked to get in touch with them.
