Human Remains

The remains of an Asian or black man in his 20s were found in plastic bag in Halse Lane near Winsford Hill on Exmoor, Somerset. He had a gold pendant on him with a Koranic verse on it.

Police said that there was evidence to indicate that he had suffered a violent assault before he died. It was thought that he had died sometime between 1999 and 2000. However, it was further stated that it was thought that his body could have been kept somewhere else after he died and then later buried on the moor some time after May 2001.
