Shropshire slip road skull tests 'inconclusive'

A post-mortem examination into human remains found on a motorway embankment in Shropshire has proven inconclusive.

A male skull was discovered by the M54 slip road on Thursday by workers surveying a roundabout at junction four near Telford.

Further skeletal remains were later found. Tests showed the remains had been at the scene for over two years.

Police said more tests had been ordered and were keeping an open mind as to how the remains came to be there.

Det Sgt Paul Hopwood, of West Mercia Police, said: "We are continuing to pursue a number of inquiries to identify the man and establish what has happened.

Searches at the site ended on Sunday.
