Human remains discovered in Sutton-in-Ashfield were "obviously and intentionally buried by someone", according to police. The skeleton was found in a grave, alongside a pair of socks and a man's shoe.
In a press conference held at the Sherwood Lodge Headquarters on Wednesday, May 24, Assistant Chief Constable Rob Griffin has provided an update on the circumstances in which the human remains were found.
Officers were first called to the scene in Coxmoor Road after a member of the public came across bones on April 26. The area was cordoned off, and a no fly-zone was enforced over the scene including drones, while officers carried out their inquiries.
