RSPCA urges appeal for help

A decapitated horse and a dead foal have been found dumped in "suspicious circumstances", prompting an appeal for information from the RSPCA.

The remains were discovered by a member of the public down a byway in Claverley, Shropshire, on Sunday.

The animal charity said the female horse, which appeared to be underweight with long hooves, was found in three pieces and had been covered with a tarpaulin.
