LEG FOUND NEAR WATER’S EDGE
DISCOVERY MADE AT WAIHEKE ISLAND PATHOLOGISTS TO MAKE EXAMINATION (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 15. > The gruesome discovery of a man’s unclothed leg lying partly submerged near the water’s edge at Waiheke Island, Hauraki Gulf, was made by a visitor while walking along the beach. The discovery was reported to the police, who had the limb brought to Auckland tonight for examination by the pathologists engaged in the Piha case.
A cursory examination suggested that it had been severed at the knee joint and submerged in the water for some time. It is not known if there was anything by which it can be identified.
