Kilsby Lane remains shut following the discovery

The skeletal human remains of what police believe to be an adult male have been found in Rugby.

Police said Saturday's discovery on Kilsby Lane required support from an archaeologist and anthropologist, with officers closing the road.

Work was under way to identify the body and establish the circumstances of the death, the Warwickshire force said.

Anyone with information about the discovery has been asked to contact police.

"We want to be able to inform the family before releasing any further information," a police spokesperson said.

They added: "We appreciate the impact on local residents of Kilsby Lane being closed and will ensure it's reopened as soon as possible."

The remains have been taken away from the site and are being subjected to analysis.
