On April 29th, 2016, the partial skeletal remains of a young man were discovered wrapped in a black plastic garbage bag inside a blue sleeping bag in an abandoned factory in Forest Gate, Newham, East London. The rest of the skeleton was found after authorities thoroughly searched through the dirt and debris on the floor of the factory where the body was recovered.
A forensic examination of the bones determined that they had belonged to a man aged between twenty-nine and thirty-five, who stood between five-foot-four and five-foot-eight. He was murdered by blunt force trauma to the head at the factory where he was found at some time between 2003 and 2006.
Though the victim’s ethnic background could not be determined, he was thought to have come from somewhere on the Indian subcontinent, as his clothing and a pouch of tobacco on his person originated from that area.
His DNA was added to a national database, but has so far yielded no matches, and though a facial reconstruction was released to the public in late 2019, neither the man nor his killer has been identified.
