Scottish scientists reconstruct face of murder victim who died 16 years ago

Police were called to reports of skeletal remains found in a blue sleeping bag at a disused factory in Upton Lane, Forest Gate, just before 4pm on Friday April 29, 2016.


Part of a black bin liner had been placed over the head and body, while the skull had a visible crack along the left side, towards the back.​

No DNA match but possibly Indian due to presence of tobacco only sold in India? Maybe a migrant worker/illegal immigrant/trafficked person????

examination of the skeletal remains concluded that the dead man was between 5ft 4ins and 5ft 8ins tall, and it is believed he could have been of eastern, southern or central Asian, Indian subcontinent, European, North African or Middle Eastern descent.

born between 1971 and 1974 and died between 2003 and 2006.
