Inquiry after body is found

Police have launched an investigation after a body was found in woods in Leominster.

The body, believed to be that of a man, was discovered yesterday off the A49 Leominster bypass.

Early reports suggested the body had lain undiscovered for a number of days.

Constable Mick Slattery, of West Mercia Police, said a post mortem was due to be carried out later.
