A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a woman was found in a popular Liverpool park.
Officers from Merseyside Police found the body of a woman in the walled garden of Stanley Park after being contacted by a member of the public at around 5.25pm on Friday, August 28.
Enquiries remain ongoing to identify her and inform her next of kin.
A postmortem has now taken place, with the results remaining undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation.
Early enquiries suggest the woman’s body could have been there for a number of weeks.
Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson said: “We understand that this will be distressing and worrying for people to hear and I want the local community to be reassured that we are doing everything in our powers to find the person or persons responsible and bring them to justice.
“We have carried out a number of lines of enquiry, including examining any missing people reports in the Merseyside and wider area, but at this stage we have not been able to identify the woman and would ask for the public’s help by coming forward with any information.
“We know she is a white woman, aged in her 70s, approximately 5ft 2in tall, of small build with strawberry blonde hair. When she was found she was wearing a distinctive cerise pink Nike T-shirt."
