ANOTHER body part has been found but Hertfordshire police say it is too early to say whether it is linked with other body parts found in Cottered and Wheathampstead.
Police have confirmed that a head was found in a field close to a Leicestershire cemetery. Officers have not released any further details.
It came a day after police 80 miles away in Hertfordshire said walkers had found what is thought to be part of an arm in Drovers Lane, Wheathampstead.
This find was linked to a leg found in nearby Cottered on March 22 and Herts police launched a murder hunt the following day.
