- Devon and Cornwall Police and Crime Commissioner Alison Hernandez apologised for incorrectly claiming multiple human remains were found in woodland near St Austell.
- Ms Hernandez had told a panel meeting that 'dead bodies' were discovered in woodland at Sticker, where a murder investigation is ongoing.
- Devon and Cornwall Police clarified that only the body of 43-year-old Daniel Coleman has been recovered from that specific woodland, with no other remains found there.
- James Desborough, 39, is accused of murdering Mr Coleman and is due to appear at Truro Crown Court next month.
- Police confirmed they are conducting three separate, unlinked murder investigations in Cornwall, including the Sticker case, another woodland discovery, and a fatal fire in Newquay.
