Can you help solve ten year old mystery?

A NEW appeal has been made by police in a bid to identify a man found dead near Canonbie ten years ago.

His body was discovered in the Burnside Plantation on December 20 2010, with an Italian newspaper lying nearby.

Despite extensive investigations in this country and abroad, he has never been identified.

And now Police Scotland are trying again to jog the public’s memory and find out who he is and what happened to him a decade ago.

A reconstruction of the man’s face was released at the time, pictured, and officers said he was aged between 40 and 60, with a bald head and clean shaven face.

He was wearing a green safari hat, brown cord jacket, black trousers and grey ankle boots.

Commenting on the unsolved case, Det Insp Bell said: “Unfortunately through the last ten years all investigations have led to no identifications being found for this gentleman.

“There are no suspicious circumstances and what we are appealing for is anybody that has a memory or a thought of who he is to come forward so we can investigate it.

“What we are hoping for is because it is such a rural location that these things do tend to be in people’s memories especially at this time of year.”
