Two more people have come forward claiming to be victims of abuse at the former Haut de la Garenne children's home in Jersey, police say. At a news conference outside the building, Deputy Police Chief Lenny Harper said they had made "allegations of serious sexual crimes". He also said a makeshift trap door had been found leading to the building's cellars, which police are searching. A child's skull was found at the site on Saturday."We've had two people in the last few hours who have come forward and reported extremely serious allegations of crime to us that are alleged to have happened in here", Lenny Harper told journalists. "[The] team have also uncovered what we've been referring to, or what some of the witnesses have referred to, as a trap door when they've been talking about offences that were committed in that cellar area", he said. "It is in effect a space in the floor boards but the existence of it and the location of it again corroborates what some of the victims have been telling us."
