“It is believed someone had attempted to burn the remains as parts of the dog had been burned along with the grass around it and there was a smell of burnt fuel.”
The body of the dog was found close to the Walpole Road South Gate and could have been carried through there with difficulty, or potentially driven to the location on the Monday evening of 22 April or early morning on Tuesday.

“I examined the body but at this moment there is no obvious indication of how the dog died. It was very clear that it had taken a considerable amount of time and effort to cut up and transport the body to the park,” he said.
The RSPCA said that they were called to a beating incident of a large tan bull breed dog which occurred between two benches at the Lordship Lane entrance of the park at 4.20pm on 17 April.
They are currently unsure if both incidents are related, but are appealing for information from the public.
Anyone with information about the dog or the beating incident should contact the RSPCA’s appeals line on 0300 123 8018.
