A police and crime commissioner has apologised after claiming multiple bodies had been found in a murder probe after two bodies were discovered within 10 miles of each other.

Two murder investigations were launched in Cornwall after two bodies were found in separate woodlands.

Earlier this month, Daniel Coleman's remains were found in Paramoor Woods near the Cornish village of Sticker.

Officers had been scouring the area for several months - aided by specialist teams from the National Crime Agency - when they found the 43-year-old's remains.

Mr Coleman vanished last month from St Austell and is thought to have died between June 2 and July 7. A man has been charged with his murder.
