Detectives investigating allegations of abuse at a former Jersey children’s home have unearthed more bone fragments and another child’s tooth, police on the island said today.

The remains were discovered over the weekend by experts during a sieving operation in one of the underground chambers at Haut de la Garenne.

Last week, police said an earlier find of teeth and chard human bone parts pointed towards homicide, with the remains possibly cremated in a nearby fireplace.
