Discovery and location
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.
Tattoo details and victim
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.
Investigation actions and statements
A police spokesperson said officers were also working with the council to establish where the bin was moved from. 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.
"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."
Public appeal for information
"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."
