Police have launched an investigation after a carrier bag containing a human skull was found next to a statue in Devon.
Officers were called to Kings Quay, in Brixham, at 15:40 BST on Thursday where they found the plastic bag beside the Man and Boy statue on the quayside.
The bag has been seized by police and, following examination, the bone was confirmed to be a human skull.
Police said inquiries suggested the skull was located by fishermen out at sea and had been brought to shore.
