A post-mortem will be carried out on human remains found in a field in Sutton-in-Ashfield. Nottinghamshire Police first arrived at the scene in Coxmoor Road on April 26 after a member of the public reported seeing a number of bones.
A large cordon has been in place at the site for two weeks as specialist officers have been working alongside scientists and they will continue to be there for the next few days.
In an update on Thursday (May 11), Nottinghamshire Police said that a post-mortem is due to be carried out to determine the identity of the person found and the cause of death.
