A man whose remains were found in a field in Norfolk has been identified in court as a 34-year-old man from Lithuania.

Human bones were found by a member of the public in a field off Lynn Road in Walton Highway, near Wisbech, on 18 May.

Police treated the death of Sergei Voitechovic as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious.

Norfolk area coroner Johanna Thompson told an inquest hearing that he had no fixed abode in Norfolk and adjourned proceedings for a full hearing to take place on 13 May.

A search was carried out over several days last year, after the bones were first discovered.

Norfolk Police has said a family liaison officer is supporting the deceased's next of kin.
