The remains of three newborn babies have been found by police at a house in St Helens.
Three people have been arrested after the grim discovery, made after a tip-off by a member of the public.
Forensic tests are underway, but it is understood the babies may have been born as far back as the mid-1980s.
Two women aged 54 and 38, and a man aged 26, have been arrested and bailed pending further enquiries.
'Following a call to us, we attended at an address in St Helens where human remains were discovered,' said Detective Superintendent Steve Naylor.
'The remains are believed to be that of newborn babies and at this stage of the inquiry it is believed they are the remains of three babies.
'The investigation has only recently commenced and a number of lines of inquiry are being explored.
'We cannot speculate as to the cause or circumstances of the deaths and any inappropriate supposition is likely to have a severe impact on the investigation and the family concerned.
'This looks like being a complex investigation, and a lot of hard work needs to be done before we can ascertain what the full circumstances are surrounding this situation.'
