FOLLOWING extensive media coverage over the weekend, police have received a number of calls from the public regarding the burnt remains of the body of a woman found in Milton common on Friday afternoon (13/7).
Acting Detective Supt. Rob Mason, said: ?I am pleased with the response so far from the public. We have had around 10 calls and all of them are being extensively followed up by the investigation team.
?Some of the calls we have had are from other parts of the country and we will continue to follow up any leads to establish who she was and who killed her.
?The body could have been at the farm since Thursday evening and I appeal to anyone who has information to come forward.
?I am also particularly keen to hear from anyone who recognises the description of the victim, especially if they have not heard from that individual for a few days. At the moment the public hold the key to this investigation.
?I would also like to stress that crimes of this nature are very rare and I would like to reassure members of the community that this still appears to be an isolated incident.?
Forensic samples from the scene, including unburned bits of the suitcase, believed to have been used to transport the body, are still being analysed.
The body apparently had not been dismembered and there was no sign of a sexual assault.
