Rose Hill police said Wednesday evening that a disturbance at a home led to the discovery of human remains in a backyard.

Officers were called to a home Tuesday night, and one person was taken to a hospital in serious condition.   Police said while they were investigating the disturbance, information was developed of a “past homicide.”   Remains were discovered and they appear to be those of a child, and police said the state of decomposition indicated that the death could have happened years ago.

Police said the investigation is continuing and this appears to be an isolated event, with no threat to the community.
