BREAKING NEWS Human remains found in property's garden in hunt for 'murdered' Polish woman who vanished 15 years ago
Human remains have been found in the garden of a property in the hunt for a Polish woman who vanished 15 years ago.
Izabela Zablocka, 30, moved to Britain in 2009 and lived in Derby. Her family in Poland lost contact with her a year later in August.
Derbyshire Police last week launched an investigation into her disappearance after a missing person's report was filed.
The force had been focusing their search on a property in Princes Street, Normanton, and tonight announced it had found human remains which they believe to be Izabela.
A 39-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of murder has today been rearrested.
Detective Inspector Kane Martin, who is leading the investigation, said: 'Izabela's family are at the forefront of our minds following this discovery and, whilst formal identification has not yet taken place, it is our belief that these remains do belong to Izabela.
'As such, we have spoken with Izabela's family in Poland, and they are aware. Our thoughts are with them at this extremely difficult time.
'Identification of the remains is likely to be a lengthy process, but we will issue updates when we are able.
'I know that reports of these findings will send shockwaves through the local community, and I understand the concern of residents.
'Officers will remain in Princes Street in the coming days, and anyone with concerns is encouraged to speak with them.
'A dedicated team of detectives are continuing to piece together information about the days prior to Izabela's death.
'Izabela had friends in Derby, socialised in Derby, and worked in Derby.
'We know that someone out there will have information about Izabela that may help us understand what happened to her, and urge anyone who saw, spoke to, or heard anything about Izabela in July or August 2010 to come forward.
'You may hold the key piece of information that we need to understand the full circumstances of Izabela's disappearance, and to give her family answers on what happened to their loved one.
'Anyone who does wish to make contact, can do so completely anonymously through the charity Crimestoppers who are offering a £20,000 reward for any information which leads to the conviction of someone in the case of Izabela.'

Moment frail missing pensioner uses cane to walk along street: Police release CCTV in hopes of tracing 89-year-old who vanished DAYS ago
This is the heartbreaking moment a missing pensioner is seen using his cane to walk along the street as police plea to the public for help. Footage shows Malcolm, 89, was last seen on Wednesday walking along Westfield Close in the area of Hull Road in Easington between 8am – 9.30am on the day of his disappearance. The frail man vanished days ago and police are 'growing increasingly concerned for his welfare.' Officers have trawled the area knocking on the doors of locals, diving through hours of CCTV and even used scent dogs - but have been unsuccessful in their search for Malcolm. The force have urged the public to check their gardens, sheds, outbuildings and any covered areas as they believe the pensioner could be found sheltering there. They are also keen to speak to pedestrians and drivers travelling along Hull Road around the time Malcolm was last seen and have said motorists shoul check their dash cam footage. Leading the she search, Inspector Will Knapp at Humberside police said: 'We have been trawling hours of CCTV and doorbell footage, conducting house to house enquiries and area searches of rural locations to try and understand which direction Malcolm may have travelled in since leaving his home. 'As part of those enquiries, the CCTV footage shows Malcolm walking along Westfield Close at approximately 8.10am that morning (Wednesday, 4 June). 'Malcolm is then thought to have walked towards the junction of Hull Road before heading west at approximately 8.15am. This is the last confirmed sighting of him. 'He is described as being approximately 5ft 8ins tall with grey hair and is thought to be wearing a grey gilet with brown trousers and carrying a walking stick. 'From this point, with support from specialist trained search officers, scent dogs and the Underwater Search unit, alongside partnering agencies and Malcolm's family and friends, teams have been extending their searches we continue to conduct further lines of enquiries to understand Malcom's movements and try and trace his next steps. 'As part of this, we are keen to speak to pedestrians and motorists travelling along Hull Road between 8am and 9.30am around the time Malcolm was last seen. I'd also encourage anyone who has any CCTV or dashcam footage around this time to please get in touch. 'We would also urge members of the public to check sheds, outbuildings and any covered areas, if your neighbours are away, please check their gardens too.' He added: 'Anybody who has any information, no matter how small, dashcam or CCTV footage, or who may know where Malcolm may be and can assist us with locating him to please contact us our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 177of 4 June.'
