Human Remains Found at Tesco Extra Portsmouth Petrol Station – Could Be Five Years Old
Shocking discovery at Tesco Extra in Portsmouth as decapitated human remains were found beside the petrol station forecourt. Police believe the body could have been lying there for up to five years.
Workers Stumble Upon Gruesome Find
Ground workers prepping a nearby building site made the grisly discovery around 11am, uncovering badly decomposed human remains hidden in undergrowth next to the Tesco Extra petrol station at North Harbour.
Police Seal Off Area, Forensics on Scene
Hampshire Constabulary confirmed they were called to the Clement Attlee Way store at Cosham shortly after 11am. A police spokeswoman said:
“We were called following the discovery of what appears to be human remains. Officers are at the scene and a cordon has been put in place to protect the area.”
The cordon stretches from the remains site past a planned McDonald’s location to the petrol station exit. Despite the closure, the petrol station remains open, with customers being redirected back to the entrance after refuelling.
Remains May Have Lingered Undisturbed for Years
Sources suggest the remains may have been lying undiscovered on the waste ground for as long as five years, raising urgent questions about the missing person and the circumstances surrounding their death.
