Pits excavated as part of Jersey abuse inquiry

Two pits are being excavated near the boy’s dormitory at a former Jersey children’s home where the remains of a child were found, police said today.

The inquiry team at Haut de la Garenne, the home where more than 100 people claim they were abused, were contacted by a man claiming he was asked to dig the pits during the 1970s or 1980s.
