'I joked to my son that it looked like there was now pork on the menu.' Ms Louise said she was stunned to see the head left near the new site where a local shopping centre will be built. ‘I don’t know how long it had been there, it obviously happened in the night,’ she said. Michelle Louise and her daughter made a grisly discovery outside of McDonald's on Monday morning .
