THE remains of a child’s body have been found by police at former children’s home Haut de la Garenne.
The grim discovery was made on Saturday by States police officers who believe that it may have lain hidden for more than 20 years.
They fear that more remains may be found as the search continues.
The St Martin property, which closed as a child care home in 1986 and is now used as a youth hostel, has been at the centre of a major police investigation into abuse of children dating back to the 1960s.
The excavation, involving a sniffer dog and ground radar, began last week when information emerged from that inquiry.
Full report and background in today’s Jersey Evening Post.
