Police hope to identify remains of man found in Telford
A post-mortem is due to be carried out on Tuesday, where further investigations will take place to identify the remains of a man found in Telford.
The man's skull and skeletal remains were found at junction 4 of the M54 Eastbound in Telford on Thursday. The discovery was made by maintenance workers who were conducting a survey of the embankment.
Forensic examinations, excavations and searches were carried out at the scene by specialist Police search officers and forensic officers supported by forensic experts in archaeology and anthropology.
Speaking earlier this week, DCI Neil Jamieson said: "We remain open minded as to how this individual happened to be at this location. We have been in contact with neighbouring and regional forces and have requested information in relation to those individuals who have been missing for a significant amount of time across the region. Although it is very early days we believe these remains have been at the location in excess of two years."
The slip road on to M54 at junction 4 remains partially open, the road is expected to be fully reopened later today.
