'˜Body may be buried in Thornton garden', caller tells police
An overgrown garden is being cleared after police were told a body may be buried there.
Officers have spent the morning working in the garden, in Knowsley Crescent, following the report, police said.
One neighbour told The Gazette a tent has been erected at the house, while a passer-by said she spotted forensics experts there.
The search is not linked to Paige Chivers or Charlene Downes, it is understood.
