Police will remain at a field in Sutton-in-Ashfield as part of the investigation into human remains found at the site. Nottinghamshire Police first arrived at the scene in Coxmoor Road on April 26, and officers said they expected to remain at the scene for seven days.
But in an update on Thursday (May 4), police said they will remain at the scene for the next few days. There is still a cordon in place and a no fly-zone has been enforced over the scene, which includes drones, while officers carry out their inquiries. Nottinghamshire Police said officers were being supported by scientists, including an anthropologist.
Forensic and DNA work is still being carried out so that formal identification can be made, with a senior officer stating nothing suggested the remains were archaeological. Superintendent for the County, Claire Rukas, said: “We know that the public will be eager to know what has happened and who this person is.
