Police Apologize After Winning Sandcastle Contest With Murder Scene

Cops in southwest England have been criticized for entering a crime scene-style sandcastle into a competition.

Officers from the Devon and Cornwall Police force depicted what appeared to be a naked female murder victim made from sand — with seaweed for hair and a plastic spade firmly lodged in her back — for the annual Cornwall Beach Games on Perranporth Beach on May 13. It was surrounded by police tape.
