Parents' anguish after motorway bones identified

The parents of a graduate whose remains were found by a motorway in Britain more than a decade after she vanished today spoke of their “untold anguish”.

Bones belonging to 25-year-old Melanie Hall, whose disappearance was one of the most high profile cases of the 1990s, were found in a bag by a workman clearing vegetation on the M5 slip road at junction 14, north of Bristol, on Monday.
