Infant found dead in Newton Barracks area

A startling discovery was made this morning in the area of Newtown Barracks that connects with Marine Parade. Two kids playing in the area where local fishermen sell their catch saw a shimmering black plastic garbage bag trapped amongst the rocks. Being curious, they crossed the sea wall to fetch the bag and when they opened it they found the body of a baby. The police were quickly called to the scene, and when our crew got there, the boys relayed the experience while the body was taken away.
