Police continue to investigate a case of human remains found inside a burnt out vehicle on the Ahtahkakoop First Nation.
An RCMP release says police first spotted a burning vehicle on the reserve around 10 a.m. Thursday morning.
However, the vehicle was not searched at this time.
Around 5 p.m. Thursday afternoon Shellbrook RCMP received two calls of a missing person who had reportedly not been seen since 11 p.m. Wednesday evening.
The vehicle was then searched and the human remains found.
The remains have since been removed to Saskatoon for a post mortem examination scheduled to take place early next week.
Police are not confirming whether the missing person and human remains are related until the post mortem examination has been completed.
