Human remains found in Nottinghamshire field are 'not ancient'

Police have confirmed human remains found in a Nottinghamshire field are "not ancient" as investigations continue into the discovery. Officers were first called to Coxmoor Road, Sutton-in-Ashfield, just before 7pm on Wednesday after a member of the public found what they believed to be human remains and called police.

Superintendent Claire Rukas, the County Area Commander for Nottinghamshire Police, gave an update outside Mansfield Police Station later on Thursday. Reading out a statement, Superintendent Rukas said: "Specialist officers are currently at the scene and will remain there for the next seven days as we work to find out who this person is, how they died, when they died and how they came to be at this location.

Superintendent Rukas added: "We know this discovery will cause considerable concern in the local community. But I would like to reassure people that everything that can be done is being done and will continue to be done.
