The remains of a baby have been found in a field in Greater Manchester, police have said.
A member of the public alerted police just after midday on Wednesday after discovering the infant - with the force descending on Ashtons Field in Little Hulton, Salford, soon after.
Local reports say there has been a major police presence at the scene throughout the afternoon.
One Little Hulton resident told the Manchester Evening News that she "felt sick" after hearing about the discovery - and said she felt the area was unsafe.

She told the newspaper: "It's not safe, there's no cameras. Anyone can access it any time they like.
"They need to do something - I've always said something was going to end up here, and it was going to be really serious."
Greater Manchester Police's district commander for Salford, Chief Superintendent Neil Blackwood, is set to hold a press conference this evening.
