Police unable to identify woman found dead in bin bag near football stadiums

  • Merseyside Police are appealing for information to identify a woman found dead inside a black bin bag in Stanley Park, Liverpool, on 28 August.
  • Investigating officers believe the body had lain undetected in the park's walled garden between the Anfield and Goodison Park football grounds for several weeks before being discovered.
  • Despite receiving 73 names from the public, forensic tests have yielded no match on the national DNA database, and dental records could not be compared.
  • The deceased is described as a white woman, approximately 70 years old, 5ft 2in tall, of small build, with strawberry blonde hair, who was wearing a pink Nike t-shirt.
  • Detective chief inspector John Fitzgerald has urged drone operators who flew over the park in recent months to check their footage to assist the murder investigation.
