A human skull was among skeletal remains found in the Belangalo State Forest where Ivan Milat murdered backpackers, one of the men who found the bones says.Andrew was with nine mates on a trail bike ride in the Southern Highlands forest when they found the remains just after 3pm on Sunday."We saw what looked to be leg bones, they were large bones," he said."We ended up finding the skull and ribs."Everything was tucked away behind a log."He said there also appeared to be clothing with the bones.

  • Police seal off area The remains were found just off Brethren Point Rd in a heavily wooded area of the forest known as Dalys Waterhole.Andrew said he and his friends had driven on that trail numerous times and it was only when they did a U-turn in the bush that they came across the remains.He said a recent fire in the area might have uncovered the remains.The riders immediately alerted police from Goulburn Local Area Command who attended the scene a short time later.The discovery raises the possibility that Milat might have had an eighth victim.
