POLICE have opened a case of concealment of birth after six dead foetuses were found wrapped in plastic near Albert Park, Durban.
According to Andreas Mathios, Blue Security spokesperson, a patrol officer was waved down by vagrants along McArthur Road on Saturday.
“When the officer went and had a look, he saw what looked like frozen foetuses. It was like they were recently aborted because they were so small and you couldn’t really tell whether they were male, female, black, white or Indian,” said Mathios.
