Police are searching the garden of a property in Birmingham for human remains as part of an investigation into the death of a child in 2020.
West Midlands Police said they launched an investigation after receiving reports of a child’s death at a house in Clarence Road, Handsworth.
A 40-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were arrested last Friday on suspicion of child death and willful neglect. The pair has not been named.
The man was remanded after appearing in court on charges of neglect, while the woman will appear in court in due course facing similar charges.
Police said the current occupants of the property on Clarence Road are not connected to the investigation.
DI Joe Davenport, of the force’s public protection unit, said: “We acted quickly on the information and our inquiries are ongoing to establish exactly what happened. I understand this will shock the local community but I would ask you not to speculate on the circumstances. We would encourage anyone who has any information to get in touch.
