The body of a newly-born male child was found in the horse pool on Binley Road.
The body was found by a man that had been walking past the horse pool at around 5pm on the Monday. He said he noticed a parcel in the water and poked it with his walking stick. He then pulled it to the bank and when he removed the brown paper wrapping, he saw a child's leg and so went to call for the police.
