Elsa and Roman also have an older brother, who was provisionally named Harry after he was found wrapped in a blanket in another east London park in Plaistow in September 2017. The parents of all three children have yet to be identified as London’s Metropolitan Police reiterated a call for anyone with information to come forward. In 2017 the police released footage of Harry as a three-month-old baby.
The BBC and PA argued that reporting the sibling links would help the police find the parents of the three children. Elsa remains in foster care. In terms of health she was described as well, the court heard. It was also told there were plans for the siblings to have contact as they grew up. “We have worked 24/7 in each of these three cases to identify the parents, so far without success. We have also had to be mindful of the sensitivities that exist now all of the children are being cared for. Their welfare, including their privacy, is paramount. We continue to investigate, and will consider the next steps in our investigation.”
