Police locate mother and baby safe following discovery of human placenta in Southampton

The police received reports of the discovery of a human placenta in the Holly Brook park area, Southampton in June of last year. The discovery sparked a full investigation to establish whether a crime had been committed and whether the mother and baby were harmed as a result.

 Following months of investigation, which has included reviewing hundreds of hours of CCTV footage, house to house enquiries, speaking to witnesses in the area and liaising with partnership agencies, the police have confirmed the individuals involved and that there is no criminal investigation into what has taken place.
