The remains found in 2019 were identified as a 26-year-old Norlane man, police said at the time.

It is not clear how the latest remains were uncovered or what was found but they were taken to the coroner’s officer to be examined.

The human remains were first found in September 2019 when a nearby resident was digging up his property at Marnoo Court.
