Three bodies found at Beachy Head

The bodies of a man, woman and child were found at the foot of a cliff, police said.

The three unidentified bodies were recovered from the bottom of Beachy Head, near Eastbourne, East Sussex, on Monday morning.

Sussex Police were alerted after they received a call from the Coastguard at 8.20pm on Sunday night.

A spokeswoman for Sussex Police said the victims, confirmed as a man and woman, and the third believed to be a young child, were not thought to be local.

At more than 600ft high, the cliffs at Beachy Head are a notorious suicide spot.

In 2004, the Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team was set up, whose members patrol the clifftop to try to prevent suicides.
