Human remains found in a Sutton-in-Ashfield field are not those of missing James Brodie, Nottinghamshire Police have said. Bones were found by a member of the public on farmland off Coxmoor Road on April 26.
Police have since launched a murder investigation due to the injuries sustained on the body. In a press conference held on Wednesday, May 24, police ruled out the possibility that the remains belonged to Brodie and Bogdan Nawrocki - two high profile missing cases.
Brodie, the man suspected of shooting dead Marian Bates during a robbery at her jewellery shop in 2003, has been missing since the raid. The 64-year-old grandmother was at Time Centre in Arnold with her husband and daughter at the time.
