A second human bone has been found by police, following a search of a stretch of coastline on the Isle of Wight.

As previously reported, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary, alongside HM Coastguard, scoured the shoreline at King's Quay, between Wootton and East Cowes on Friday, November 15.

It comes after a member of the public reported finding a human bone at King’s Quay, Whippingham on April 14 this year.

The bone was recovered by police for forensic and DNA analysis.

At the time, police said no other human remains had been discovered.

The force has since confirmed that an item was seized by police during the search and has now been identified as a second human bone, following analysis.

Further analysis and enquiries remain ongoing at this time, a spokesperson said.

Earlier this month police said there were "no suggested links to criminal activity."
