This Is Guernsey

By Natalie Harrison

TWO more cellars and more items of significance have been unearthed at former children’s home, Haut de la Garenne.

Work resumed at the site yesterday, with the team establishing that there were a third and fourth cellar beneath the Jersey home. However, to protect the integrity of forensics, only when the team has finished working in cellars one and two will an exploration begin of rooms three and four.

Commenting on work so far, senior investigating officer Lenny Harper said that police had received evidence from another victim over the last few days which told of abuse in one of these two new rooms.  Room three, he said, was very like room two, while room four was similar in dimensions but might have less headroom.
