Police officers were first called to the scene on the evening of Wednesday, December 7. The force were responding to reports of human remains being found in the park.

Details of the person have not been released and it is still unclear whether the police will be able to identify the victim based on the remains. Police are focused on determining how long ago the incident took place with the timeline potentially dating back years.

British Transport Police has said a cordon is expected to extend till next week with the investigation ongoing.
