Local children found them on Tuesday.

Savar Model Police Station's sub-inspector Nahid Hossain said, "Local children found the bones while looking for iron bars under the debris. They kept the remains beside a monument built to the memory of Rana Plaza victims."

Bones had been found earlier, too.

They would be sent to Dhaka for DNA tests, the officer said.

On Apr 24 last year, more than one thousand people died when the Rana Plaza, housing several readymade garment factories and shops, collapsed in Savar.

Many of the accident victims are still missing, relatives claim.
