Police in Oldham have confirmed there were no bones found in a garden in Limeside following a full investigation.

A scene remained in place at the back of a house on Fourth Avenue, Limeside, while officers assessed the bones last Thursday.   

At the time a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said that officers were investigating following reports of suspected bones being discovered in a garden on Fourth Avenue, Oldham, at around 3.30pm on July 17 and that a scene remained in place until the next day.

After a thorough investigation, a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police said: “There were no bones found at the location and the scene has been closed.”

    Let’s start with the bad news. James Reade, economics professor at Reading university, has been in touch about my assertion last week that Latics require 1.8333 points per game to reach 71 points. By his calculations, which are far more trustworthy than mine – who says you won’t amount to anything without GCSE maths? – Latics will need more than 71 points to clinch seventh place this season. Professor Reade reckons the target is a minimum of 74 points.
