"Paramedics arrived at the scene and found a baby boy, fully developed. He was found in a plastic packet that had been tied up and left on the walkway."

Jamieson says medics assessed the little boy for any signs of life, but he had already died before their arrival.

"The body was handed over to SAPS who will be investigating further," he said.


Earlier this month, a foetus was found in a sewage pipe in Reservoir Hills.
