Bones found in field are remains of Derbyshire miner who vanished in 1967

Murder inquiry launched and family of Alfred Swinscoe appeal for information after discovery in Nottinghamshire

Police have launched a murder inquiry after human remains found in a Nottinghamshire field were identified as those of a miner who vanished after a night out at a pub 56 years ago.

A member of the public found the remains in farmland in Sutton-in-Ashfield in April, and Nottinghamshire police launched an appeal for information after a postmortem found that the person had been killed.
