Material suspected to be human bones have been unearthed at a home in Capital Park, next door to the home of paedophile Gert Van Rooyen, Pretoria police said on Wednesday.

Captain Percy Morokane said the owners of the home were digging on the property in order to install a swimming pool when the discovery was made on Tuesday evening.

They immediately contacted the police.

Forensic experts visited the site and the material would be sent for forensic testing, said Morokane.

"What we would like to say is to let the investigation go on, we want the police's work to go unhindered. We know the country at large is waiting in anticipation - we ask for patience," he said.
