SOME of the alleged victims of child abuse in Jersey came from Guernsey, the island’s deputy police chief Lenny Harper confirmed yesterday.

However, the number of Guernsey-born people who grew up in former children’s home Haut de la Garenne, currently the centre of a huge child-abuse investigation, has not been given by Jersey Police or Guernsey authorities.

Jersey Police confirmed yesterday that they were still working in the building’s cellar. They have found another object of significance there but would not confirm what it was, although Mr Harper did state that it was ‘not a household object’.
