Children's teeth found in Jersey home search
22/04/2008 - 09:02:40

Experts searching a hidden cellar at the former Haut de la Garenne children’s home on Jersey have discovered children’s milk teeth, police revealed today.

Forensic archaeologists also found further bone fragments in the area following indications from specialist search dogs.

“We cannot be sure at this stage if the bone is human or animal and it will be forwarded to the UK for tests,” a States of Jersey Police spokeswoman said.

“The teeth could have come from the same child although further tests will be necessary to try and ascertain if that is the case, and how the teeth might have come to be there.”
