The officer was on a routine patrol when vagrants, who were digging in the trash, flagged his vehicle down.
“The officer stopped to investigate and discovered the two foetuses, who appeared to be twins, lying between black bags of trash on the grass verge of a property. It is believed the bodies may have been dumped at the site just a few hours earlier. Our officer immediately cordoned off the area and called the Durban North SAPS who responded to the scene to investigate further,” Mathios said.
