This butcher creates 'sausage baby' to welcome Murray's new-born

Former world number one Andy Murray recently became a father for second time, and a Scottish butcher marked the baby's arrival in the weirdest way possible.

A day after it was announced that Murray and wife Kim Sears were blessed with a baby girl, a Scottish butcher, John Hill, created a creepy baby entirely of sausage.

Hill, who owns a shop in Dunblane, Scotland, is reportedly described as Murray's "old local butcher", the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Posing for a picture with the meat baby, the Scottish butcher said that he thought creation would be "a funny way to let people know" about their local hero's new arrival.

Murray and Kim, who got hitched at Dunblane Cathedral in April 2015, already have a daughter, Sophia, who was born in 2016.

The news of the arrival of the couple's new little princess emerged less than 24 hours after Murray played a charity match against 19-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.

It was Murray's first public appearance since suffering a hip injury at Wimbledon.
