Police in England are today investigating the murder of a heavily pregnant teenage girl after her near naked body was found in the grounds of a rural church.
A murder hunt was launched after 14-year-old Amy Williams' corpse was found at St Michael's Church in Madeley, Shropshire, on Monday morning.
She was found, reportedly wearing only pink socks, by an elderly man as he visited his wife's grave.
She was last seen between on Sunday evening in Southgate, in the Sutton Hill area of Telford where she lived with her mother.
A post-mortem examination indicated she was strangled. Further tests are being carried out to determine whether she was sexually assaulted and find out if she was killed in the church grounds or whether her body was dumped there later.
An incident has been set up to investigate the murder and officers are carrying out house-to-house inquiries.
CCTV footage of the area is also being examined. Det Insp Andy Parsons of West Mercia Police, who is leading the murder hunt, said: " "She was partially clothed when she was found and we are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the clothes she was wearing earlier in the evening.
"We would ask that people check their gardens, hedges and even their dustbins in case this clothing has been left there."
