Police in Bath investigating the discovery of three severed human feet this year say there is no evidence so far that a crime has been committed.

Today detectives and sniffer dogs were searching Weston Park in an attempt to close the investigation.

Det Insp Paul Catton said although forensic tests are continuing, expert scientific opinion so far suggests the remains are educational samples. 

"I would appeal to anyone who has any evidence about the source of these remains to get in touch. We’re doing what we can to protect the public from making any more of these unpleasant discoveries," he added.
