Keith Bennett latest: Police abandon search for Moors Murders victim after ‘no human remains found’
Det Chief Insp Hughes added that independent accredited forensic archaeologists and certified forensic anthropologists, together with GMP’s Crime Scene Investigators, had completed a methodical forensic archaeological excavation and examination of the identified area and beyond.He added: “The items given to us by the member of the public have been examined by a forensic scientist and though this hasn’t yet indicated the presence of human remains – more analysis is required.
"We are now utilising the knowledge and skills of a forensic image expert to put a standard anthropological measurement to the object to assist with identification. "At this stage, the indications are that it would be considerably smaller than a juvenile jaw and it cannot be ruled out that it is plant-based.
“The excavation and examination at the site is complete and, to reiterate, we have found no evidence that this is the burial location of Keith Bennett.”
