A container filled with organs has been found at a park in south London, sparking a major police investigation.

A member of the public made the grim discovery in Rosehill Park, Sutton, on Wednesday afternoon.

The Metropolitan Police described the body parts as “human or animal” and said tests were under way to determine their origin.

The park has been cordoned off as officers carry out investigations in the area.

A Met police spokesperson said: “Police were called at approximately 4.30pm on Wednesday, July 24 by a member of the public who reported finding a container in Rosehill Park, Sutton containing what was described as human or animal organs inside.

“The container has been secured by police and the contents will be forensically examined.”
