Had the forensics round yesterday!!

[shellbell]

We are currently in the middle of doing our garden. Yesterday as we were digging ad moving the earth (were digging quite deep), we came across a blanket with something in it. DH opened the bag and it was lots of bones.

We decided to ring the council to see if they would come and get rid of them but they said that we would have to phone the police. A couple of officers were round within a couple of hours and took some of the bones to the local vets to get the vet to confirm they were canine. We got a phone call a couple of hours later to say that the test was inconclusive if the bones were canine or human They said that forensics would be round with a DS from the SIU (serious investigations unit) and a radiologist from the hospital.

The drama was soon over as they confirmed they were canine, thankfully! It was a little worrying when thevet couldn't tell if they were canine! It was very funny though watching everybodys curtains twitching in the street, trying to guess what was going on All that from a telephone call to the council Still it was a fun start to the summer holidays.

You must have had a great day , although I would have been scared at the thought that the vet couldnt identify the bones either, I have shivers just thinking about it.

The police told us that they are going to get the council to come and take them away (enviromental health). It was a bit scary, Just could imagaine them all over the garden digging up all the work we had started!
