New Britain schools: Discovery of remains ‘may be impacting our school community’

NEW BRITAIN, CT (WFSB) – A neighborhood in New Britain on Friday continued to seek answers after possible human remains were discovered.

The discovery was made near an abandoned home on Clark Street on Wednesday.

Police have not yet publicly identified the remains.

However, the Consolidated School District of New Britain released a statement.

A memorial was set up at the scene. It included dozens of candles and balloons outside of the home.

As the investigation moved forward, police asked anyone with information to come forward.

“It’s sad,” said Steve Niemczyk, neighbor. “I mean what goes on, it’s sad.”

The potential remains were found in a container in the backyard.

“It’s kind of scary to think that there was human remains right across the street from where me and my kids live,”
