manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Police have escalated efforts to find the remains of Moors murder victim Keith Bennett as the search is poised to enter its sixth day - but as yet no bones have been found.

The latest excavation began on Friday after author Edward Russell showed police pictures of what was described as part of a jaw bone, after working with a team of experts to try to find Keith's remains.

Police have dug 3ft down in the immediate area identified by Mr Russell but today (Tuesday), as the search passed its fifth day, police confirmed that as yet no identifiable human remains have been uncovered.

But the search continues. Police have sent soil samples obtained by Mr Russell for expert analysis and have widened the search area.
