Remains found in search for woman missing since 2006
Human remains found during fresh searches may provide clues in nearly 20-year-old disappearance of Malgorzata Wnuczek, police said further forensic tests are underway.
- On October 8, 2025, Leicestershire Police confirmed specialist officers discovered human remains while searching land off Great Central Way near Watkin Road, with a cordon and three police vehicles at the scene.
- Renewed searches targeted scrubland off Great Central Way after receiving information from Polish colleagues, and it is unknown whether the remains belong to Ms Wnuczek pending forensic tests.
- Specialist units previously scanned the River Soar in 2023 after a tip from Polish police, authorities have contacted KWP Bydgoszcz, and police say identity is unconfirmed pending forensic tests.
- Detective Superintendent Jenni Greenway said police will continue searching the Watkin Road area over the coming weeks while providing support to Ms Wnuczek's family, who have requested privacy.
- The discovery positions this case within a nearly 20-year search and could answer questions for a family that has lived 'not knowing what happened,' with last contact on May 29, 2006 and a 2016 police appeal.
