WORKERS on a construction site on Spathodia Place (Glenhills) made a grisly discovery on Saturday morning after uncovering human remains.

Members from the SAPS Search and Rescue K9 Unit, SAPS Search and Rescue and Metro Police Search and Rescue were on scene to uncover the human remains which included two femur bones and a few smaller bones.

The remains were found about one and a half metres deep in the ground where construction is currently taking place. The workers contacted a resident on the road who in turn contacted ward councillor for the area, Pete Graham.

While attempts to contact Greenwood Park SAPS spokesperson were unsuccessful, it is believed the remains are estimated to be over a decade old.

The remains were transported by a Forensic Pathology Services (KZN Department of Health) vehicle and an inquest docket will be opened at the Greenwood Park police station.
