A total of six lumps of human excrement were found in a school playground in Paphos on Wednesday morning.

According to local news website PafosPress, the excrements were discovered outside the school at 7.30am.

Parents of the children at the school said that it seems from the “size of the problem” that there was more than one perpetrator.

In addition to defecating on the playground, the perpetrators appear to have used worksheets from inside the school to wipe their rectums, with stained paper littered around the school.
