Varke Yard the scene of a gruesome discovery after infant’s body is found in a skip

James added, "The full term baby was found wrapped in pyjama pants and residents have already come forward with leads."

A recycler from Lapland opposite Extension Four in Eldorado Park, made a gruesome discovery this morning as he was sifting through a skip, searching for recyclable material.

As he was going about the business of earning his living, he stumbled across the body of what turned out to be a full-term infant in the six metre skip he was rummaging through.

Well known anti-drug activist, Dereleen James, whose Yellow Ribbon Foundation is near the site where the discovery was made, said, “The body was found by a Lapland guy.”

This in reference to the area along Union Road which serves as the base for the recyclers who can be seen carting their material through Eldorado Park streets every day.



The horrific discovery, it is reported, was made opposite the Extension Four flats, which are known locally as ‘Varke Yard’.

According to EMS officials, the baby was full term and it is alleged that the infant was born alive, suffocated and dumped in the skip.

James added, “The full term baby was found wrapped in pyjama pants and residents have already come forward with leads.”

While no further information is available at this point, an update will be published once the Eldorado Park SAPS releases a report.
