Serial defecator leaves bags of poo in Hoo village square

Just who is dumping poo above a loo in Hoo?
Bemused litter-pickers have discovered someone keeps leaving
shopping bags full of excrement in the village square.
The serial defecator even dumped an overflowing carrier bag,
neatly tied up, on the roof of Hoo public toilets, in Medway.
Mystified community officer Johnny Robinson and Hoo councillor
Tony Watson are convinced the stools are human.
Bizarrely, four ducks - all shot dead - appeared next to an
especially foul round of waste on January 23.
Cllr Watson (Con), who has been finding the bags regularly for
two months, said: "We believe the ducks and the human waste are
linked."
Mr Robinson added: "If someone is doing this in a bag, they
might not be the most suitable person to have a gun."
The pair have been appealing for information on the mystery
bag-filler since volunteers for the Hoo village clean-up found four
bags stuffed full of excrement on January 14.

It was not the first disgusting find, said Cllr Watson, but
since then the filled bags have often appeared in a bush next to
the square. The police, council and RSPB have all been
informed.
Cllr Watson added: "I've looked carefully and I'm as sure as I
can be that it's human without doing scientific tests, which I'm
not going to do."
RSPB communications officer Rolf Williams, who examined the
birds, said: "The ducks were teal, which are not protected from
wildfowling, but their disposal associated with the disposal of
faeces is strange.
"The teal appeared fresh, with no smell and still flexible.
Bloodstains on the breast of each suggested that they had been shot
from beneath in flight."
