Police find blood in cellar’s bath

Saturday 8th March 2008, 9:29AM GMT.

BLOOD has been detected in a bath in the cellar at Haut de la Garenne.

A sniffer dog was put into the first underground room yesterday morning and indicated two different spots in the bath. Tests for blood gave a positive result.

‘However, it must be stressed that although the presence of blood in the bath corroborates the allegations made by some victims, there could also be an innocent explanation,’ Jersey Police spokeswoman Louise Nibbs said yesterday. The blood will now be forwarded to a laboratory in the UK for further examination.
