4: The Winshill Man

4: The Winshill Man

On the 27th March 1971, a special constable walking along the River Trent in the village of Winshill came across a gruesome discovery. What he had originally thought was a bag of cement sticking up from the ground turned out to be a human skull. On closer inspection by police a whole body was discovered. A man kneeling with his hands and feet tied behind his back and wearing only socks had been found buried in a shallow grave. The police have spent the next 50 years trying to figure out some important questions. Who was this man and what happened to him?
