A SECOND bricked-up room has been found at former Jersey children’s home Haut de la Garenne. Forensic scientists are expected to enter it today.
Deputy police chief Lenny Harper estimated that it was about 12ft by 12ft – a similar size to another which was entered yesterday. Police fear that more human remains will be found in the secret below-ground rooms.
Mr Harper said that Eddie, the specialist sniffer dog also used in the case of Madeleine McCann, had shown an ‘extremely strong reaction’ when sent into a bricked-up room in the building’s cellar. His response was akin to that shown before a child’s skull was found on Saturday.

In total agreement with you on that one Heather. It’s all well and good having a brand spanking new webiste, but the content is quite shockingly inadequate these days. Please bring back the whole stories to the websites, especially for those of us living away from home!
