Winnipeg police are trying to identify human remains found along the Red River north of the city’s downtown.

The remains were found Saturday afternoon on a riverbank close to a walking and cycling path.

Police say the remains are those of a woman of unknown ethnicity who is believed to have been older than 20.

They say at this point, there is no indication of a link to any other recent death in the city.

Police say DNA testing will be done to try to identify the woman and they are asking the public for any information.

They are also asking cyclists who have cameras on their bikes to see whether they may have any relevant footage.
