Human skull and bones found in abandoned area of Athens, Greece; police investigate origin of remains

Greek police are investigating the discovery of human remains in an abandoned area of Alepotrypa, in the Kypseli region of Athens. The case began on Tuesday, when a football coach found a torn blue bag containing a human skull and other bones after a ball used during a training session fell in the area.

On Wednesday, a second bag with smaller bones was found near the first discovery. It has not yet been confirmed whether this new material is also of human origin, and a forensic expert is expected to examine the bones found in this second bag.

The new location was reported to police by a citizen who called the authorities but did not stay at the scene until the teams arrived, according to the Greek website eMakedonia.
