Police investigate moor 'remains' | |
(31 minutes later) | |
Police are investigating reports that human remains have been found on Saddleworth Moor on the border of West Yorkshire and Greater Manchester. | |
West Yorkshire police said they were called at about 1300 BST to reports of remains found at Wessenden Head Road on the moor, near Huddersfield. | |
A force spokesman said: "Inquiries are ongoing." | |
It is understood that the discovery is not thought to be connected to the Moors Murders. | |
Child killers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley buried the bodies of their victims on Saddleworth Moor. | |
Greater Manchester officers have been actively searching for the body of one of the victims, Keith Bennett, for the last three years. | |
David Kirwan, the solicitor acting for Keith's mother Winnie Johnson, said on Tuesday that police had not been in touch about any discovery. |
