Police investigating one of New Zealand’s worst mining disasters in which two Scots lost their lives have said they may have found more human remains more than 12 years after the disaster.
Malcolm Campbell, 25, from St Andrews and fellow Scot Pete Rodger, 40, perished along with 27 colleagues when a methane gas explosion ripped through the Pike River mine in November 2010.
The bodies of the men have never been recovered and many of the families have been fighting to have the remains of their loved ones found ever since.
