FLOWERS and cuddly toys have been laid outside the house where a toddler was found dead yesterday.

Police discovered the body of the two-year-old girl at a house in Herald Way, Bicester, after a relative contacted officers because they were worried for her safety.

Last night officers said they believed the girl’s mother may have fled the country.

This morning a scene watch was still in place and forensic officers returned to the property.

Teddy bears and flowers have been laid against the garden wall of the house.

One bouquet included the message: “To a beautiful girl with big pretty eyes, another little Angel x RIP.”

Police confirmed a post mortem had taken place last night and the results are expected to be released later today.
