Tip leads police on search for baby's remains

The remains of a dead baby believed to be buried in a northwest Sydney property are the subject of a police investigation.

Detectives believe that late in 2007 or early 2008, a woman in her late teens gave birth to the child before the baby was murdered.

It’s further believed the body was buried on a large rural property on Cliftonville Road, South Maroota in Sydney’s northwest following a tip off from the public.

Homicide detectives along with the Public Order and Riot Squad began combing the area on Tuesday morning.
