Police find two MORE dungeons at former Jersey children's home

Two more torture chambers have been discovered at the Jersey care home where human remains were found last month.

It brings the number of dungeons discovered beneath the former care home to four.

Search teams have already excavated two chambers at Haut de la Garenne where shackles and a blood-spattered concrete bath were found beside a wooden beam bearing the haunting message, "I've been bad 4 years and years".

Police have found two more dungeons at the former Haut de la Garenne children's home

Officers yesterday identified another two rooms with a similar layout hidden under the Victorian building.

Victims have described the cellars as "punishment rooms" where children were kept in solitary confinement, drugged, raped and flogged.

Senior investigating officer Lenny Harper said: "We have now established there are a further two rooms and we have received evidence from another victim over the last few days which tells of abuse in one of these."

He said items been recovered from the first two rooms tended to corroborate victims' claims of abuse.

The home was dubbed the House of Horrors after the remains of a child were found in a stairwell on February 23.
