Police in Bath are investigating the apparent discovery of a severed human foot in a park.

Simon Clarke said he spotted the foot while walking his dog with his partner Nicky Jeffries at 8am this morning in Weston Park East, according to the Bath Chronicle.

He told the newspaper: “It was severed about four inches above the ankle.

“It looked like it had been dug up.”

A spokesman for Avon and Somerset Police said: “We were called shortly after 8am to reports that a member of the public had found a suspicious item in Weston Park.

“We are making enquiries into the report and will issue an update in due course.”
