NEW clues have been released by police as they try to identify the body found inside a wheelie bin.
Cops have released images today of a green bin in which the body of a man was found after it had been dragged into a park.
The grim discovering was reported on Friday 5pm, when officers scrambled to Cash’s Park off Daimler Road in Coventry.
It’s believed the man was hit by a vehicle before being moved to a muddy path in the park.
The police are trying to establish where the bin had been moved from alongside the local authority.
Alongside images of the bin, police have also released further information about the man to help identify him, and hopefully determine the cause of death.
The man is said to be aged between 40 and 50.
He has a tattoo of a cross with a snake wrapped around it on his back and the words “Little Stardust”, and a tattoo on his right arm saying ‘nan’ with a clover and the colours of the Irish flag, the police said.
Police are urging anyone with information, or dashcam or CCTV footage from the area, to reach out.
Detective Chief Inspector Phil Poole, leading the investigation, said: “We have a large team of detectives, forensic specialists and other staff working around the clock to establish what has happened to this man, who he is, and who is responsible.
“We’ve had several pieces of information come through to us as a direct result of our appeal, and we are following up those lines of enquiry.
“I really want to hear from anyone who recognises the descriptions of the tattoos on the man, as they are quite distinctive.
“I also really want to hear from anyone who has noticed unexplained damage on a vehicle, perhaps of a partner or relative, or anyone who’s noticed a sudden change in behaviour from someone they know.
“If you know or are responsible for what happened to this man, I would urge you to come forward now so that we can get the answers that he deserves.”
