Human remains found close to spot where British backpacker Peter Falconio vanished in Australia

Police have found remains of a body close to where missing British backpacker Peter Falconio was last seen alive in Australia. It's been reported that bone fragments have been uncovered near the suspected murder site in Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory.

Falconio, 28 was shot dead while on a road trip with his girlfriend by Bradley Murdoch on a remote stretch of highway in the Outback in 2001 but his body was never found. The area of the discovery is consistent with where detectives believe the backpacker was buried, the Mirror reports.

Peter's heartbroken family have waited over 20 years to find out where their son's body could be. Last year, his heartbroken mum Joan, 75 appealed to 'anyone with a conscience' to finally reveal where Peter's remains are.
