Around 85 graves were vandalised in the Muslim section of a cemetery in Watford. Hertfordshire Police said many of the damaged graves were believed to be "the resting place of babies and young children" at Carpenders Park Lawn Cemetery, Watford. Maria Mian Goncalves, whose daughter's plaque was damaged at the cemetery, said: "It's worrying and it's very upsetting. I just want some clarity at the moment and see why somebody would do this."
