Two people arrested after partial human remains found in Dorset - The Guardian

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of murder after partial human remains were found in Boscombe, Dorset police said.

The victim had been identified as a 49-year-old man from Bournemouth and his family had been informed, the force said.

A man, 48, and a woman, 38, both from Bournemouth, were arrested a week after the remains were discovered by a member of the public near the Manor Steps Zig Zag, off Boscombe Overcliff Drive.

Det Insp Neil Third, of the major crime investigation team, said: “This remains a very complex investigation and we have worked tirelessly since the initial discovery and report to progress our inquiries.

“Foremost, our thoughts are with the victim’s family. We will continue to do all we can to establish the circumstances of the death.

“Now that we have been able to identify the victim following scientific analysis, I am in a position to be more specific about my appeal.”

He said police wanted to hear from anyone who saw suspicious activity around the Manor Steps Zig Zag between 31 July and 26 August, asking for any information or images to be uploaded to the major incident public portal.

“A number of cordons have been put in place across the Boscombe area and I would like to thank the public for their assistance while officers conduct their detailed inquiries,” he said.

“Officers can be approached by members of the public with any information or concerns.”

The wider cordon around the area of the Manor Steps Zig Zag had been removed.
