Slaughter of lamb is sign of 'Black Magic' warns councillor

Humberside Police

The ritual slaughter of a lamb found in a Cleethorpes park is 'a sign Black Magic' says a councillor.

Organisers of the Sidney Park Junior Football Club made the gruesome discovery yesterday before their Saturday practice. Gareth Kaye told how club members walk the pitch to clear it of any debris.

He noticed a bag with a swarm of flies and inspected the inside of the bag next to some bushes. He said he was horrified by the discovery and is convinced it is the remains of a ritual slaughter of the lamb.

He visited a number of homes along Park View on the western side of the Cleethorpes park. A number of residents said they heard a commotion at around 1am.

Gareth said: "It was horrible. This is an area used by young footballers. We were all shocked. Initially we thought it was a poodle dog which had been dumped.

"But when we saw the little trotters we realised it was a sheep. We rolled it over and it stank and was covered in flies.
