In a bizarre twist a foot
recovered from the Rangitata River on Monday is mammalian
but not human, examination now shows.
Detective Paul
Hayden, Ashburton Police, says that the initial examination
by a Christchurch pathologist indicated that the foot was
human. Acting on new information received today it was
examined again and has been confirmed as mammalian but not
human, he says.
Further inquiries and examination are
being made. We have no results or firm conclusions yet.
