More than 40 bodies have been found buried in shallow graves on a building site in Aylesbury Vale, we can exclusively reveal.

apparently it was a condition of the planning application being accepted that an archaeological survey be undertaken: but if one was no one has seen it and there are suspicions of a cover-up

yesterday:

42 skeletons found under Aylesbury Vale building site could be more than 1,000 years old

You can tell that they enjoyed using Mr Grimsdale a lot in that article. It goes from Ed Grimsdale to repeated Mr Gimsdales and the only other persons are first and second name plus one rather brusquely and oddly referred to as Chapple OBE .

Appears I didn’t have to...

It's still totally misleading as it suggests that it's current news instead of an archeological discovery . Please change it to something appropriate.
