Police still looking into apparent human skeletal remains found in Hull
The remains were reported to police last Thursday night
Police enquiries remain ongoing following the discovery of apparent human skeletal remains in Hull last Thursday (11th December).
Following a call from a member of the public, Humberside Police say they found "what are thought to be human remains in a tent" in an alley near Melwood Grove, off Beverley Road.
A scene guard, which has since been lifted, was put in place at the time.
Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson said: "Whilst I appreciate that a discovery of this nature may cause concern within the community, I want to reassure residents that a scene guard was immediately put in place to allow initial enquiries to be carried out. This has since been lifted.
“Throughout last week and over the weekend, specialist teams have been carrying out extensive work and this will continue across the coming weeks.
“We currently believe the remains relate to one individual, however enquiries remain ongoing to establish the identification and full circumstances of this discovery.
“We would ask anyone who has any information that could assist our enquiries, please contact 101 quoting log 453 of 11 December.”
