The scene in the Clocaenog Forest after the body was found in 2015

THE North Wales Police Major Crime Review Team is renewing its investigation into the murder of an unidentified man.

The remains of the man were discovered in Clocaenog Forest, Conwy, in November 2015.

They were found during a stage of the Wales GB Rally after a spectator discovered parts of a human skull in the forest. Following a forensic examination at the scene, the near-complete skeletal remains of the man were recovered.

In the extensive investigative work that followed, it was established that the body had lain undiscovered for more than 10 years and that the man had suffered a violent death. Accordingly, investigating officers have treated this case as a murder investigation from the outset.

Despite the completion of detailed forensic and investigative work, along with several high-profile media appeals, the man has never been identified.

However, detectives have established the following details about the victim.
