A sketch of the murdered man who is still not identified

Police have detained a man arrested in connection with the murder of a mystery man.

The 26-year-old man from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk arrested on suspicion of murder has now been detained under the Mental Health Act 1983.

He has been transferred from custody at Peterborough's Thorpewood police station to a secure unit where he will undergo further assessment for up to 28 days.

A 22-year-old woman, who was arrested in Great Yarmouth on suspicion of assisting an offender and questioned in connection with the case, has been released on bail.

Numerous appeals

She is due to report to Thorpewood police station on 14 November.

Another man arrested for questioning in the case, a 41-year-old from King's Lynn in Norfolk, was released without charge on Tuesday after answering his bail.

The unidentified dead man's body was found on fire in woods at Upton near the Cambridgeshire border with Northamptonshire in December 2002.

The man, who had been shot and stabbed before his body was set alight, was buried on 21 July without having been identified.

Detectives have been unable to name him, despite numerous appeals to the public.
