More victims and witnesses come forward

London: Ten more victims and witnesses of alleged child abuse at a Jersey children's home have come forward since police dug up a child's remains on Saturday, police said.

In all, 150 people who claim they were abused or saw abuse at the Haut de la Garenne home over a period spanning four decades are now being interviewed by police.

Officers dedicated to the 20-strong Historical Abuse Inquiry Team are interviewing people living in Jersey, Britain, Germany and as far afield as Australia about their time at the home.

Police are also excavating a bricked-up cellar and other sites around the house looking for more remains after a sniffer dog detected yesterday's remains.
