Further scientific testing will be conducted to determine the age of the bones and to identify the other bone.

Initial investigations suggest the bones are historical in nature.

The bones are believed to be at least 30-50 years old.

The crime scene will remain in place tomorrow while officers continue their investigation.

The area of bushland at Teneriffe Park is popular for its walking tracks.
