Human bones have been discovered in a garden by builders just 20 miles away from the West’s famous ‘House of Horrors’ otherwise known as 25 Cromwell Street.

Rumours are now circulating through Kemble, a village in Gloucestershire, that the remains could be connected to the serial killers. The killers, although most famously living and burying their victims at their home at 25 Cromwell Street, have also burried a number of victims across other locations in Gloucestershire, including past properties and remote fields.

The bones were found last Thursday (4th November) by builders, buried in the garden at a property around twenty minutes away from the famous home, so it’s not as unlikely as you may think. As human remains have now been officially confirmed by the Gloucestershire Constabulary, speculation of who the bones belong to and who commited the crime are rising.

It comes after a cafe cellar in Gloucester was excavated to see if the body of Mary Bastholm, a suspected victim of Fred West, was there. No human remains were found following a two-week dig. Mary was 15 when she was reported missing on January 6, 1968, but her body was never found. Fred confessed to police he had killed her but gave no further information. So could this new find be Mary?

A local, who didn’t want to be named, said details were being ‘kept very quiet’ as speculation rages on. They said: ‘I didn’t even know it was happening until other parents were talking about it on the playground this morning. I think the reason for the crime scene is being kept very quiet at the moment. Whenever there’s a big crime scene in Gloucestershire, everybody thinks about Fred and Rose [West]. Obviously there’s nothing to say it is one of their victims, but who knows how many there were and where they could be hidden.’

Other residents said cops visited Kemble Primary School and informed staff of the incident after unknown details were revealed by a child.

A Gloucestershire Constabulary spokesperson said officers were not in a position to state where the bones in Kemble came from or who they belonged to. They added: ‘Police received a report that human bones were discovered by a builder working at a property in Kemble last Thursday (4 November). Officers remain at the scene and inquiries are continuing.’

The Wests tortured and killed at least ten girls between 1967 and 1987 but it is suspected the numbers are infact a lot higher.

Fred took his own life while awaiting trial in 1995. Rose was sentenced to life in prison the same year and is an inmate at HM Prison New Hall, Flockton, West Yorkshire.
