Authorities in Meråker have discovered human remains in a remote area, as reported by the police.

The discovery was made by a local sheep farmer who alerted the authorities shortly before 7 PM.

Currently, the identity of the deceased remains unknown, and the remains are being cross-referenced with missing persons in the region.

Police are actively investigating the scene but have yet to determine how long the remains have been there, with estimates ranging from weeks to years.

In 2022, a local resident, Gaute Strid, went missing, but police are cautious not to speculate on any connection.

However, they have informed Strid's family about the discovery as part of their protocol to notify families of missing persons.
