Conwy,North Wales - Man whose body was found in woods died in 'suspicious circumstances'

Forensic teams scour the forest area in Cerrigydrudion, North Wales where human remains have been found

North Wales Police also say he had sustained 'serious head trauma'

An investigation is continuing after a post-mortem examination on human remains found in Conwy indicated the person died in suspicious circumstances after sustaining “serious head trauma”.
The remains were found by a member of the public on November 14, when North Wales Police were called to a forestry at Pentrellyncymer, near Cerrigydrudion in Conwy county. A forensic anthropologist and a Home Office pathologist have been assisting police since.
While the investigation is continuing, the search in the forestry has now been concluded. All human remains have been recovered, with the body believed to have been there for several years.
The person is thought to be male, aged over 54 and between 5ft 8in and 5ft 10.5in.
Detective Superintendent John Hanson said: “The as yet unidentified man sustained serious head trauma and whilst the circumstances of his death are unknown at this time the injuries indicate the death is suspicious, so detectives will continue to work alongside forensic experts to establish the man’s identity and circumstances and cause of his death.

“The meticulous examination and recovery phase of this operation at the scene at Pentrellyncymer is now complete and the forensic anthropologist continues to examine all the remains.”
Det Supt Hanson said he was conscious the description of the man is very limited, but added: “I would still ask if anyone in the community can help me identify this man and offer any information which would progress this investigation to please contact North Wales Police .”
Any one who may be able to assist North Wales Police with their investigation should contact them on 101 or anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 and quote Operation Tractile – S175107.
