Multiple bodies found in woods during hunt for missing man in Cornwall
Multiple bodies have reportedly been discovered in Paramoor Woods near Sticker in Cornwall. During a police investigation into a missing man, police officers reportedly uncovered multiple bodies shortly after finding the body of Daniel Coleman, 43. The Devon and Cornwall Police found the body of the 43-year old who was reported missing from St Austell in Cornwall last month. Three weeks later, the local police and crime commissioner Alison Hernandez said the force has found several other bodies in the area. It is not clear how many bodies there are or how long some of them have been there. A probe has now been launched with officers now working to establish the number of bodies in the area. Forensic teams and police tents have been spotted in the area. The National Crime Agency is also assisting with the operation. Ms Hernandez said: "We've got a huge forensic tent down there. Lots of forensics officers, obviously we've found dead bodies in that wood. "We're just trying to establish how many there may be at this point in time and whether we are aware of who they are or what might have happened to them. So we also don't know how long they may have been there, some of them." She added: "As you know there is a large crime scene that has been identified in Cornwall that is requiring a lot of effort to even scene guard the area. "I know there's been some information in the media. "Until some of those elements have been established of exactly what we're dealing with there, it will be made public at that time." Detective Superintendent Jon Bancroft of Devon and Cornwall Police has refuted these claims, sustaining that only one body has been found in the woodland. Det Supt Bancroft said: "I can categorically state that we have recovered remains believed to be those of Daniel Coleman only from an area of woodland in Sticker. No other remains have been located at this scene to date 'It is imperative that we continue to respect the integrity of the formal court process and ensure the administration of justice is not compromised in any way 'We are continuing with a forensic examination of the scene which is being carried out slowly and methodically. "Our teams of officers and staff are being assisted by the National Crime Agency expert group and Home Office-approved scientists. "A significant police presence will remain in the Sticker area as we progress our inquiries expeditiously. "I continue to ask that people do not speculate on social media about this case."

‘We want an answer': They fear their relatives are among the hundreds of bodies piled up at a crematorium in Mexico
Families are demanding answers after authorities in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, discovered that 383 bodies had been stored in a crematorium for months and years after the people had died. Norma Guardado Meraz was one of many locals who visited the Chihuahua Prosecutor's Office this week to get more information about its investigation into the discovery, fearing that among the bodies are those of their relatives. The discovery was made on June 26 after several municipal police officers found a hearse containing two bodies and other corpses piled up in a room in the building's courtyard. Prosecutor César Jáuregui said the pile of bodies had accumulated since 2020, suggesting that the Plenitud crematorium had failed to perform services it had been subcontracted for by six funeral homes. 'We want an answer so we can be satisfied and for the authorities to help us see what's going on, so we can be sure we have the right person in our urn,' Guardado Meraz told CNN. She and her family want clarity about the fate of the remains of her mother, María Nieves Meraz, who died three years ago and was mourned at one of the funeral homes that had subcontracted the crematorium. Another resident, Javier Ramírez, went to the prosecutor's office Wednesday to determine if the remains he had received actually belong to his father, who died two months ago and whose wake was held at one of the other funeral homes. CNN is trying to contact the managers of the funeral homes for comment. 'They just tell us they'll let us know when they have information, but they don't know how long it will take. In other words, we just have to wait and see what they tell us,' Ramírez told CNN. CNN has asked the prosecutor's office how many complaints it has received in this case and is awaiting a response. The office said Tuesday that of the 383 bodies found, 218 were men, 149 were women and the gender of 16 could not been identified. Authorities have detained the owner of the company that operated the crematorium and his assistant in connection with the discovery. They were scheduled to appear in court on Friday. CNN is trying to contact their legal defense team to find out how they will respond to the charges against them. As the case moves forward, the prosecutor's office is promising a thorough investigation and says it encourages more people to come forward and demand answers. CNN's Michael Rios contributed to this story.
