Inquiries into the discovery of a skull and other remains, made by a road worker on August 20 near Junction 4 of the motorway for Shifnal and Priorslee, have established that they belonged to a male thought to be aged between 30 and 49. A full DNA profile of the man has been obtained and detectives believe he was between 5ft 7in and 5ft 11in tall.

It is thought the body had remained undiscovered for at least three years, and the man is now known to have been wearing a black 'dare2be' outdoor jacket, a navy blue George at Asda T-shirt, and dark-coloured Nike tracksuit bottoms.

He was also found in possession of two bracelets, including one thought to be a 'Kara' bangle usually worn by Sikhs.

Anyone who can help can call the Major Incident Unit at Malinsgate police station on the non-emergency 101 number.
