[PIETERMARITZBURG – 22 MARCH 2012 AT 11H00]
ER24 paramedics in Pietermaritzburg were called to the corners of Collage and Price Alfred Street for a foetus that had been found in a packet on the side of the road this morning.
Emergency personnel arrived on the scene and found the necessary authorities on the scene already. They were shown to where the foetus was lying inside the packet. Paramedics examined the foetus that looked between 20 and 25 weeks, unfortunately there was nothing paramedics could do for the foetus as it had already passed away.
It is believed that the foetus was found by a man who was sitting underneath the Collage Bridge, when he looked inside the packet he found the foetus. He contacted the necessary authorities who will now investigate the incident further.
