SENSATIONAL ARREST
BODY IN PERAMBULATOR. WHEELED THROUGH STREET. Press Association — 3} j.’elegioph—Copyright LONDON, June 21. (Received June 22, at 7.40 p.m.) The Glasgow police made a sensational discovery of the body of a murdered boy, aged 12, which ■ was being wheeled in a perambulator through a busy street by a young woman. The body was wrapped in a bed mat. It is believed that a previous attempt had been made to burn the body as the hair on the scalp was singed. The woman, who was accompanied by a boy and her small daughter, was arrested. The police believe that the boy was strangled at Coatbridge, 12 miles from Glasgow, and the body taken in a pram in order to be disposed of in Glasgow. The motive is a mystery. The early arrest of a man is expected.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
