Forensic officers descended on a wooded area near a school as investigations into the discovery of potential human bones continue.
A cordon remains in place in a small wooded area in Morpeth, Northumberland - three days following the harrowing find. Police officers were joined by forensics on Cottingwood Lane on Saturday scouring the area as part of the ongoing investigation.
Northumbria Police said it received reports of the 'human bones' shortly before 3pm on Thursday (March 9), before scrambling to the scene to probe further.
