Baby

The body of a newly born female child was found in Seaton Sluice Burn.

The body was found by an 11-year-old schoolboy that had been out playing along with other children beside the burn. He saw a parcel tied with string in the water and when he pulled it out he found that it contained the body of a baby and immediately informed the police. He said that the parcel had been lying in the burn with the bottom half covered in water.
