Forensic teams will today continue their search at the institution where a child's remains were found a week ago.

Two items of 'significant interest' were also found last week by Jersey police searching the cellar of the former care home.

Officers found the items beneath the Haut de la Garenne house as part of their investigation into abuse on the island between the 1950s and 2003.
