Police probing the mysterious discovery of human bones near a railway line have released personal items in a bid to identify the remains. British Transport Police officers were called on December 7, 2022, after reports that human bones had been discovered.
Specialist teams conducted a search of the scene and found the skeletal remains of one person, who is estimated to have been there for more than seven years. Following the results of a post-mortem exam and extensive forensic enquiries, officers have said they are now looking to identify the person so they can inform their family.
The bones are believed to belong to a male who was at least 50 years of age and was likely to be white and 5ft 7in tall. Anthropological exams identified that the man could be from the UK, Europe, Indian Subcontinent, North Africa, or Middle East.
