Police have issued a description of the man’s tattoos as part of their efforts to identify him
Police have released a description of distinctive tattoos on a man found dead in a wheelie bin, as part of officers’ efforts to identify him.
The body of the man, thought to have been 40 to 50 years old, was discovered at Cash’s Park off Daimler Road in Coventry at 17:00 GMT on Friday.
Officers believe he was hit by a car before being moved to the site, where a member of the public found him inside the Coventry City Council bin, West Midlands Police said.
In a bid to identify the victim, the force released a description of his tattoos, which included a cross with a snake wrapped around it on his back with the words “little stardust”.
He also had a tattoo on his right arm which said “nan” along with a clover and the colours of the Irish flag.
A police spokesperson said officers were also working with the council to establish where the bin was moved from.
Police have asked the public if they recognise the wheelie bin the man was found in
Det Ch Insp Phil Poole said the force were working “around the clock” to find out what happened to the man, who he was and who was responsible.
He added: "We’ve had several pieces of information come through to us as a direct result of our appeal, and we are following up those lines of enquiry.
"I really want to hear from anyone who recognises the descriptions of the tattoos on the man, as they are quite distinctive.
"I also really want to hear from anyone who has noticed unexplained damage on a vehicle, perhaps of a partner or relative, or anyone who’s noticed a sudden change in behaviour from someone they know.
“If you know or are responsible for what happened to this man, I would urge you to come forward now so that we can get the answers that he deserves.”
