POLICE investigating the discovery of human bones in a woodland have released a picture of a man who has been missing for 10 years.

Kent police's major crime department is searching for the family of Patrick Folen in a bid to further its inquiries.

Investigators believe the full skeleton, found by workmen on October 19 in Horton Wood, near Fawkham, could belong to Mr Folen, who went missing in November 1995.

So far the investigation, headed by Detective Chief Inspector Martin Harris, has failed to locate the man's family or friends.

Mr Folen, also known as Paddy, lived in Church Road, West Kingsdown, for a short time and was a well-known resident in the area.

Anyone with information should call Kent police on 01622 654860.
