Mansfield neighbours: Elderly couple 'disappeared'
Police searched a house in Mansfield after they were told about an alleged incident that happened there sometime in the 1990s.
That is why they arrived yesterday and began digging in the back garden, where they found the remains of two people.
Post-mortems are being carried out today, but local neighbours are saying there was an elderly couple living in the house at the time who mysteriously disappeared.
People thought they might have emigrated without telling anybody. They were last seen in the late 1990s.
The house stood empty for a number of years before being bought by a family.
Police say the family is not involved in this investigation, but there is a mystery and they believe they will be solving it very soon.
