A number of human bones found at a building site have been confirmed as belonging to a man who was murdered in 2012.
Police found a skull, parts of two arms, hands and a jaw in scrubland off Rossington Way, Sneinton, on Monday 28 September.
Following DNA analysis, they have now been confirmed as the previously undiscovered body parts of Kevin Kennedy, 50, who was murdered by Peter Healy, 51, of Lord Nelson Street, Sneinton.
Healy was convicted of his murder in 2013 and ordered to serve a minimum of 21 years – as well as receiving a five-year concurrent sentence for perverting the course of justice for concealing or disposing of his body parts.
Mr Kennedy’s family has been informed of the development.
Detective Inspector Steve Wragg, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This has been a very distressing time for the family but I hope this confirmation will give them some sense of closure. Our thoughts are very much with them.”
