Police and fire investigations have continued today into a fatal explosion in Oxford last week.

Officers confirmed on Saturday that they'd found human remains amongst the rubble of a block of flats in Gibbs Crescent in Osney Mead. The remains haven't been formally identified but the family of Guido Schuette have been informed.

Police have refused to rule out that the blast may have been a 'criminal incident'.

The explosion has left 13 households in temporary accommodation and local residents have launched a campaign to help provide clothing and essential items for those who lost everything.
