Two released over Solheim murder

Fishermen found Peter Solheim's body floating in the sea

No further action will be taken against two men arrested in connection with the murder of a 56-year-old parish councillor in Cornwall five years ago.

The body of Peter Solheim, from Carnkie, Cornwall, was found by fishermen five miles offshore in 2004.

Two men were arrested in May as part of ongoing investigations.

Mr Solheim's ex-lover, Margaret James, 58, from Porthoustock, was jailed for 20 years in 2006 after being found guilty of conspiracy to murder.

Police have renewed their appeal for anyone with information to contact them.

Mr Solheim's body was found floating in the sea, south east of Black Head, on the Lizard, on 18 June 2004. He had last been seen alive two days earlier.

The father-of-two, who was a pagan and member of the druid community, had been drugged and mutilated with a machete or axe before he died from drowning.
