Liverpool, England police are urging residents to move along. Move along. There’s nothing to see here.

Flowers and tributes were left in an alleyway where the body of a mystery dead baby was found - before police realised it was only a chicken foetus.

A member of the public discovered the remains in a back alley in the Anfield area of Liverpool.

Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken foetus.

Well-wishers had laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene, along with cards and teddy bears.

One of the cards read: “RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx.”

Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to “stop grieving, it’s only a chicken”.

Let the BBC take you to the scene of the crime (?) here. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty sure Eric “Fatass” Cartman is behind this one.
