Remains found on Saddleworth Moor in the search for Keith Bennett will not be identified for weeks, say police. Part of a skull, was reportedly recovered in a remote location triggering a wider excavation by Greater Manchester Police.
The search comes after author Russell Edwards brought together a team of experts in a bid to find where Moors Murderer victim Keith had been buried. He passed information to GMP who last night went to a remote location to dig at the spot where his team reportedly found the remains.
Force forensic experts are hoping to obtain DNA from any body tissue they discover so they can confirm that the remains are those of Keith. It is understood a tiny piece of clothing has also been found buried 3ft underground beside the suspected skull.
