‘Dead Mermaid’ Washes Up On Great Yarmouth Beach

Are tiny mermaids being murdered in our oceans?

Paul Jones posted a handful of pictures of his find to Facebook, where gleeful ghouls have shared them almost 20,000 times.

Leaving aside suspicions this is simply a Halloween prop with a tail made out of bin bags, the picture begs the very serious question – are tiny mermaids being murdered in our oceans?
