Fingered

Greater Manchester Police are trying to put their hands on the owner of a severed fingertip. The detached digit was apparently discovered when a woman from Farnworth went to walk her neighbour's dog, and found it on the floor of her neighbour's property.

GMP are appealing for anyone who has lost a fingertip in an accident in the last few days to contact Bolton CID, although the spokeswoman did not say whether they would be put through to the lost property department.

In the meantime, forensic test are being carried out on the gruesome find - perhaps in the hope that it will finger someone.
