A review of a decade-old murder case hopes to finally identify a victim whose remains were found dumped in a remote forest.<\/p>\n

Campers found part of a man’s skull in Clocaenog Forest, Conwy county, in November 2015, leading to the discovery of his skeleton by police.<\/p>\n

Tests showed he had suffered a serious head trauma and his body had been in the forest for several years – possibly as far back as 2004.<\/p>\n

But despite extensive tests and appeals, the man has never been identified and North Wales Police has announced a review of the investigation in collaboration with the National Crime Agency (NCA).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A police spokesperson said: “We can confirm an investigation into a body found in Clocaenog Forest in November 2015 is being reviewed by North Wales Police’s recently formed Major Crime Review Team.<\/p>\n

“The team of detectives is working with the National Crime Agency and a leading team of specialists across the country to help identify the man.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The discovery of the body by two campers prompted a large forensic search<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

The man’s body was discovered at Pentrellyncymer, near Cerrigydrudion, by two brothers camping in the forest ahead of the Wales Rally GB.<\/p>\n

Forensics determined he was likely aged over 54 and between 5ft 8in (172cm) and 5ft 10in (177cm) tall.<\/p>\n

His nose had been fractured at some point and he suffered from arthritis, police said at the time. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A Pringle jumper – which had been made between 2000 and 2004, and sold at Pringle outlet stores – was found at the scene<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

In 2016, officers appealed for help from dentists after the investigation revealed the man had undergone two identifiable dental procedures.<\/p>\n

They said he had crown work done when the procedure was commonly performed in the UK between 1980 and 2000.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Police hoped dental records would help identify the man<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Two years later, police revealed the body had likely been left there<\/a> between 2004 and 2010.<\/p>\n

Detectives found fabric from a jumper sold between 2000 and 2004 and a label for Marks & Spencer underwear from 1999 to 2000 near the site.<\/p>\n

However, detectives did not rule out that the body had been dumped prior to 2004.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
