Describing the remains, David said: “I can’t explain, it was like dead light but looked like when you find a dead bird, it was in my left hand and I couldn’t feel the weight of it.
He said the police officers who arrived said “you need to stop what you’re doing and get out, that was the attitude”.
He said he was reminded of his youngest daughter Bella as he looked at the baby before accidentally dropping it, causing its arm and hand to break off.
David said he was held at the scene for a couple of hours and later had to give a statement to the police.
“It wasn’t until the next day, the Tuesday, when I was driving my van back home and they said on the radio it was an actual baby that they’d found, and I had to pull over because it caught me off guard.”.
