Parts of body found in Mississauga park

Police west of Toronto say they suspect foul play after a head and a foot were found in a river.

Peel Regional Police Acting Inspector Randy Cowan says the the head was found nearby the right foot which was in the Credit River in Mississauga.

He goes on to say that the foot appears to belong to a female as the toenails are painted, but they don’t know yet if the foot and head are from the same person.

He says police don’t know if the body parts were placed there or washed from somewhere else in the river.

Cowan says the size of the body parts do not suggest they are from a child.

Search crews, divers and dogs are combing the area.
