Mysterious Stanstead Abbotts grave: Bones found in burial site are 'ancient'

The mysterious bones discovered in an unmarked grave in an East Herts churchyard are 'ancient', according to police.

Police forensic officers had spent two days investigating the burial site.

A local resident had raised concerns about the site on Monday (April 3), which was believed to have appeared at the Old Church of St James in Stanstead Abbotts in September.

The bones are much older than the grave site in which they were interred, evidently.
