Police have named the newborn baby girl whose body was found near the coastline in Bangor.

Detectives are still looking for the mother of Ceri, whose body was found by a member of the public near Siliwen Road last month.

It's believed she may have been left in the water for up to a few weeks, but North Wales Police are waiting for the results of specialist tests as part of their investigation.

A number of experts across the country are also involved as authorities try to understand what happened to the infant and who her parents are.

Superintendent Llinos Davies said: "We remain determined to get answers for Baby Ceri."

"All possible lines of enquiry are being followed, and we are awaiting results from several specialist tests, which we hope may provide us with new avenues to explore."

"I continue to appeal to dog walkers and other residents who have regularly walked in the Ashley Fields areas of Bangor since 30 August to contact us."

Several direct appeals have been made for Ceri's mother to come forward amid concerns about her safety, including the launch of a dedicated phone line.

Fiona Giraud, director of midwifery and women's services at the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB), said: "You may not have felt confident to come forward yet, but please know that we have specialists ready to support you, no matter what the circumstances are, please get in touch."

"Please, if you are seeing this message, call or text 07974 241223. When you call, you will speak directly to a trained specialist whose role is simply to listen and help."

"This is not a conversation you need to be afraid of. You will be treated with compassion, dignity and respect."

Police are also appealing for any photos or videos taken in and around the Menai shoreline in Siliwen between Wednesday 30th August and Sunday 27th September, when the body was found.

They say any image taken in the area could be relevant to their investigation and will be reviewed to determine whether they are of any evidential value to their enquiries.

Superintendent Davies added: "I want to thank the community for their support as we continue our appeals for information. Anybody who has had concerns for a woman or girl in recent months is asked to come forward."

"We are not asking anyone to make assumptions or accusations. Something that appears insignificant or has an entirely innocent explanation may nevertheless be crucial to finding the truth for Baby Ceri."

Anyone with any immediate concerns should contact North Wales Police on 101, quoting Operation Melex. A special major incident page has been set up allowing anyone with information to contact officers directly
