Police are hunting for clues after human bones were discovered on waste land near Kiln Lane, Huddersfield. The grisly find was made on Wednesday afternoon, January 14, sparking a major investigation.
Major Enquiry Team Leads Investigation
West Yorkshire Police confirmed detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team, alongside forensic experts, are meticulously combing the site. Authorities believe the bones have been at the spot for a significant time.
