Child

The body of a female child was found in a stream in the water fields in the Castle Grounds at Tonbridge in a brown paper parcel.

A schoolboy from Tonbridge School said that he had been out on the Sunday afternoon about 2.15pm walking with two friends in the water fields when he noticed a brown paper parcel in the stream that flowed into the Medway. When he looked closer he found the child's body inside the parcel which he said appeared to have been thrown over the hedge.
