At a press conference from the scene on Friday afternoon (April 5), Chief Superintendent Tony Creely said that the gender of the victim has not yet been confirmed, but that the force is confident at this stage that it is not a child.
It is thought the remains had been at the scene 'for a matter of days' before they were uncovered on Thursday evening. Police said a 'major' body part had been found and that officers are continuing to search for other remains.
The force said it was 'not possible for the victim to have survived' and that therefore, a murder probe had been launched by the Major Incident Team. Mr Creely told reporters that detectives are keeping an 'open mind' and confirmed that a post mortem examination will now take place.
Footpaths into the nature reserve remained cordoned off throughout Thursday evening and Friday, with TAU officers seen combing the woodland for evidence amid the major probe.
An evidence tent was erected within the scene as Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) in white suits were seen conducting enquiries into the horrific discovery. No arrests have been made.
