The Discovery
The remains were uncovered on Wilczy Młyn Street in Poznań, where a new sidewalk is currently being installed. Reports differ on the discovery: Rmf24.pl states workers noticed the bones, while “Głos Wielkopolski” suggests they were found by a pedestrian. Junior Aspirant Anna Klój of the Greater Poland Police confirmed the recovery of a significant quantity of likely human remains.
Forensic Examination
Police and an anthropologist were dispatched to the scene, with the latter confirming the human origin of the bones. The prosecutor’s office has ordered a detailed crime scene investigation involving forensic technicians. The remains will undergo further analysis at the Department of Forensic Medicine.
Historical Context
Journalists indicate that the bones have likely been buried for many years. A similar discovery occurred at the same location 15 years ago during the construction of a path. While “Głos Wielkopolski” notes there is no record of a burial site or mass grave in this area, Rmf24.pl reports that combat took place at this location 80 years ago.
