Sex doll sparks 31-hour ''crime scene'' drama

Police were ‘greatly relieved’ when a report of a dead body dumped in some woods turned out to be someone’s ‘dirty and overused’ sex doll.

They had closed off a road for 31 hours as part of efforts to seal the ‘crime scene’ in Kineton, Warwickshire, after a walker called in to say they had seen limbs sticking out from undergrowth.

But further inspection, involving experts including a forensic pathologist, revealed the find was not as grisly as first feared.

‘It is with great relief that we can announce that the pathologist was able to identify that the foot and hand beneath the bush did in fact belong to a discarded and realistic life-size doll,’ police said.

A local source told The Sun: ‘The police thought they had a murder investigation on their hands so called in a forensics team.

‘When they finally dragged the ‘corpse’ out they realised the blunder. The officers had a big laugh about it. It was a very dirty, broken and overused sex doll.’

The Warwickshire Police spokesperson thanked the walker, whose call ‘was made in good faith’, along with ‘the local people for their patience while we investigated the matter’.
