A large area has been taped off in Sutton-in-Ashfield in Nottinghamshire after human remains were found on a field there.
Scientists including an anthropologist have been called in to help police working at the scene after the discovery was made on Coxmoor Road just before 7pm yesterday (26th April).
A member of the public came across what they suspected to be human remains and called the police. Specialist officers are now at the scene conducting a full investigation, and a tent has been set up in the field.
Nottinghamshire Police says the cordon is expected to remain in place for the next seven days.
There is also a no fly-zone over the scene which includes drones.
Superintendent for the County, Claire Rukas said: “We are in the very early stages of an investigation after human remains were found in a field by a member of the public.
“We are now carrying out extensive work to determine the identify of the individual and the circumstances surrounding their death. The public can expect a large police presence in the area for the next few days.
“This will obviously be concerning news for local residents and as soon as we have more information we will be sharing this with the public.”
