Police are investigating after ‘human organs’ were found inside a container in a park in south London.
The disturbing discovery was made by a member of the public at around 4.30pm yesterday in Rosehill Park, Sutton.
The Met is now forensically examining the container to determine whether the remains belong to a human or an animal.
Officers are guarding a cordon in the park while the investigation takes place.
The 32-acre park is popular with local families and located next to St Helier Hospital and Queen Mary’s Hospital for Children.
