EXCAVATION work at Haut de la Garenne stopped yesterday as the forensic teams were given a break.

The experts had been working up to 13 hours a day searching for human remains after a child’s skull had been found last week. And Jersey Police have warned suspects to stay away from victims after reports of intimidation.

A former resident of the children’s home claimed in a television interview that he had been warned by an ex-care worker to keep quiet about what had gone on. Detectives said they had substantiated the claim and warned others against approaching victims or witnesses.
