During the dismantling of underground communications in the west of Moscow, human skeletal remains were found underground, including 10 skulls and 10 fragments of skulls. This was reported by the press service of the capital's prosecutor's office.
The department clarified that, according to preliminary information, the bones are “about 20-30 years old.” Baza writes that workers also found 17 vertebrae, 30 ribs, dozens of other bones and two jaws; they lay in a whole layer and were at the level of the well, which the builders were dismantling.
The remains were found at a depth of three and a half meters under a dismantled private non-residential building in 1st Setunsky Proezd. According to the telegram channel, the Pomegranate Garden restaurant used to be on this territory.
The origin of the bones and the time of their burial have not yet been disclosed by the prosecutor's office. “A forensic medical examination will be carried out on the discovered remains,” the department added.
Telegram channel “112” recalled that during the Great Patriotic War there was a military hospital and a bomb shelter in 1st Setunsky Proezd. The authors of the publication noted: “It has been previously established that the bones are more than 20 years old, but they could just as well be 80.”
