Mohammed Abdurezek, 31, died from stab wounds
A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a man who has links to Swansea was discovered on Christmas Eve.
A post-mortem examination found that Mohammed Abdurezek, 31, died from stab wounds.
His body was found on Gibbs Lane in the village of Siston in South Gloucestershire at around 10.10am on Saturday. Detectives say he had links to Swansea.
The lane is a no-through-road country lane which heads east from the centre of the picturesque village of Siston, between Warmley and Pucklechurch on the eastern fringe of Bristol.
Detective Chief Inspector James Riccio, from the Major Crime Investigation Team at Avon and Somerset Police, said: “A full investigation is being carried out into the circumstances of this tragic incident in which a man has lost his life.
"As part of our inquiry we’re releasing a photograph of Mr Abdurezek in the hope that someone may recognise him and recall having seen him during the past few days.
"While we’re at an early stage, we’re confident Mr Abdurezek was based in Bristol and had links to a number of other places across the UK, including Swansea and Newcastle.
"Did you know Mr Abdurezek? Do you know where he lived and who he lived with? If you did know him, when did you last see him?
"If you have any information which could help us, or saw or heard anything suspicious in Siston in the 48 hours before his body was discovered, please call us. Every piece of information is important."
DCI Riccio added: "House-to-house enquiries have been carried out in the local area while specialist crime scene investigators have examined the location where his body was found.
"We’re aware this will have an impact on the wider community and would encourage anyone with concerns to contact their local neighbourhood team."
If you recognise Mr Abdurezek and remember having seen him in the past few days, or have any information, please call MCIT via 101 and provide the call handler with the reference 5216284767 .
