LIVE: Investigations continue at scene of demolished mill where human remains were uncovered - latest updates

Investigations are continuing at the scene of a demolished mill in Oldham where human remains were uncovered.

The site at the Bismark House Mill on Bower Street remains cordoned off today (Tuesday) after the grim discovery was made by demolition workers on Saturday, two months after a fire ripped through the building. Police - who declared a major incident on Monday afternoon - and fire crews are now searching for the possibility of further bodies.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said that they received a report on Thursday, July 21, that four Vietnamese nationals were missing and may have been involved in a fire. Detectives said they suspect the discovery of the human remains in connected to the missing people.

Police are currently trying to contact their families in Vietnam. So far one body has been discovered with a multi-agency search for any potential further remains at the site now underway.

The building first went up in flames in the early hours of May 7. It completely tore through the building and took fire crews a number of days to put out. Ever since, the building has been slowly demolished.

At the time of the blaze, it was not thought anyone was inside the building. Due to the previous contact relating to the fire and missing persons, the incident has been referred to GMP’s Professional Standards Branch for review, the force said.

We will be posting live updates from this incident in our live blog below.
