Bones discovered in a bag at the side of a motorway slip road are human remains, police have said.

A motorway workman was clearing vegetation on the slip road at junction 14 on the M5 North, north of Bristol, on Monday when he made the grisly discovery.

Following examination by a pathologist, Avon and Somerset Police said the bones were human and the death was being dealt with as "suspicious".
