'It's scary to think we were just metres away from a body': Horror on the streets beside a demolished mill where human remains were uncovered
Residents have spoken of their horror after human remains were uncovered just metres from their front doors over the weekend. The grim discovery was made by demolition workers at the site of a former mill in Oldham on Saturday , which was ravaged by a fire more than two months ago.
Derker Street resident Emma Hughes remembers her young toddler waking her up around 3am on the morning of the fire in May. She said: "We saw all the smoke over the trees as my little boy had heard all the bangs and the sirens. Winnifred Leach, also of Derker Street, reflected on the news that remains were found across the street from her home of 50 years. She said: "I remember waking up after the fire and thinking it was misty outside. Then my grandson told me there had been a huge fire.
"I didn't see the fire until the day after, when it was still alight. None of us would've thought there were bodies under there, you just don't think It is going to happen across from your house." After the discovery of the human remains, forensics and fire crews remained at the scene throughout the rest of the day. GMP's Assistant Chief Constable Rob Potts said officers were "following every line of enquiry to confirm the identity of the deceased, if anyone else was inside the mill during the fire, and the full circumstances surrounding that fire."
He added: "Our firefighters at Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service spent several days responding to the terrible fire which was at a commercial building, with no indication there was anyone in there.
