Recognisable face and yet no PM photos or facial reconstruction, also no photos of his tattoos. Frustrating!
Very frustrating indeed - I'm not even sure if the description of the tattoo's are accurate since they're not on Namus but were mentioned in the newspaper. I wonder if the files for this doe got lost over the years.
