A baby’s body has found beneath the floorboards by workers renovating a house in Bishop Auckland. 

The skeleton of the baby was found in an upstairs room at an address in Fore Bondgate at around 11.15am on Monday.

‘Obviously, this is a sensitive enquiry and at this point we remain open-minded as to the circumstances surrounding the death.’
