An 86-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the discovery of human remains believed to have been buried at her home since the 1970s.
Police were alerted to the property after receiving reports of possible human remains on the premises. Forensic teams have since conducted extensive searches at the address.
The elderly suspect is currently in custody as detectives work to establish the identity of the deceased and the circumstances surrounding their death.
Decades-Old Mystery
Authorities have revealed the remains may have been concealed at the property for nearly half a century. Investigators are now combing through historical records and interviewing potential witnesses.
"This is clearly a complex and sensitive investigation," a police spokesperson stated. "We're dealing with events that potentially occurred several decades ago."
Neighbourhood Shock
Local residents have expressed astonishment at the developments. "She seemed like such a quiet woman," one neighbour commented. "You never imagine something like this could happen on your street."
Forensic anthropologists have been brought in to assist with the examination of the remains, which may require advanced techniques due to their age.
The case continues to develop as police work to piece together this extraordinary historical puzzle.
