Community grieves for dead chicken
A community mourning the death of a mystery "baby" was told today: "Stop grieving, it's only a chicken."
A makeshift shrine of flowers and cards sprang up after a member of the public discovered the remains of a foetus in a back alley in Anfield, Liverpool.
Merseyside Police cordoned off the scene to investigate, but tests soon revealed that it was only a chicken foetus. The truth was reported in a local newspaper, but a rumour had already swept the area that a dead baby had been found.
More than a dozen bunches of flowers were laid at the scene by well-wishers, along with teddy bears and cards.
One card read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx." A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police stressed today that the remains were not human. .................
