Just read this rather sad article:

Moving away from the sad story itself, I'm intrigued as to why there would be a disused 250m railway tunnel in the location on the map, as it's a good distance away from the railway and at completely the wrong height. Anyone any idea why?

A human skull found 50 metres away from a block of council flats could be the subject of a cold case murder investigation.
The remains, unearthed on Monday lunchtime by a member of the public, are understood to be “recent” rather than historic.
Police immediately set up a crime scene at the spot the skull was discovered - in an old 250 metre long tunnel in woodland near Bletchley’s Granby Court.
Anthropologist crime investigators have been called in and Thames Valley Police Major Crime Unit officers appointed to lead the enquiry.
The skull will now be forensically examined for clues and DNA. It is not yet known whether it is male or female and the cause of death is as yet unexplained.
Searches may also be carried out for the rest of the body.

It is understood police will be scouring previous unsolved murder or missing person cases from the MK area.
Granby Court is a block of flats, primarily council-owned, that has suffered major problems with anti social behaviour and crime in the past.
