The lacerations may not have killed the man, whose remains were found in the River Stour in Sudbury, Suffolk, in August 2020, police said.
Two black bin bags of human bones found in a river contained skull fragments with 27 quite deep cuts ‘probably caused by a heavy-bladed weapon’, a detective has said
Detective Superintendent Mike Brown, of Suffolk Police, told BBC One’s Crimewatch Live the man is believed to have died between 2008 and 2012, long before his remains were found. The bones were discovered after a walker reported seeing the bags in the water and they were recovered by a park ranger, who called police on August 27 2020.
“The skull fragments actually were quite small in themselves so we don’t have a complete skull, but across the top of the skull in a linear format were 27 quite deep lacerations or injuries and through the post-mortem process the pathologist identified those were probably caused by a heavy-bladed weapon but wouldn’t necessarily have been the cause of death,” said Mr Brown.
