Police excavating a Jersey youth hostel where a child's remains have been found are focusing their search on one specific area of the building.
A spokesman for States of Jersey police has said a sniffer dog gave police signs that a certain area of the Haut de la Garenne site requires further investigation.
Police cannot rule out the possibility of finding more bodies at the former children's home, which has been investigated for alleged child abuse dating back decades.
The body parts of a child were found inside the house in St Martin on the east coast of the Channel Island by a team of specialist officers.
They had been alerted by a sniffer dog who detected the remains through several inches of concrete.
The police spokeswoman said: "The dog has indicated that there is another area, and we are concentrating some of our searches there.
"Apparently the remains that the dog detected yesterday were detected through several inches of concrete."
The remains have now been sent to the UK for dating.
The spokesman continued: "That process is going to take some time, all we can say at this stage it that we believe they have been there for more than five years."
