A baby found entombed in a block of concrete was unlawfully killed, a coroner recorded on Monday.The unidentified baby girl, thought to be aged between four and six months old, was beaten and may have been sexually abused, an inquest heard.
A hearing at Workington Magistrates' Court in Cumbria also heard how the baby was still alive when entombed.
Her tiny body lay undiscovered for at least 15 years until the block was opened in a garage in Barepot in 2002.
Detectives found a DNA link between the baby, named Lara by police, and Anne Chadwick who used to live with her ex-husband Philip only 100 yards from where the youngster's body was discovered.
