Widow left 'numb' after Hull funeral home that organised her husband's cremation raided by police

A woman whose husband's cremation was organised by the funeral home at the centre of a major police investigation has told Sky News she feels 'genuinely numb'. Earlier, police said they were investigating a 'truly horrific incident' at the Legacy Independent Funeral Directors. Investigators have discovered suspected human ashes just days after recovering 35 bodies from the Hull-based business.

'People are reeling, they're upset, they're shocked, they're hurt and it's just the sense of how could this have happened and how could this have happened in our community.' Two people - a man aged 46 and a woman aged 23 - were arrested on suspicion of prevention of a lawful and decent burial, fraud by false representation and fraud by abuse of position. They have since been released on bail with conditions while the investigation continues.
