Pendant hope to identify dead man

Officers hope somebody recognises the pendant

Police trying to identify a man whose body was found in a Northamptonshire field have released a picture of a pendant which was tied to his wrist.

The body of the man, thought to be aged in his 30s, was found in woods at Cuttle Mill, between Towcester and Paulerspury, off the A5, on Sunday.

He is believed to be of Polish origin or have connections with Poland.

Police appealed for anyone with information to contact them. The death is not being treated as suspicious.

The metallic pendant is embossed with the design of a jug with what could be an ear of wheat, a bunch of grapes or a tree.

At the top are three prongs which could represent a handle or a fork.

Det Sgt John Austin said: "I would like to hear from anyone who recognises what it represents in the hope that it will help us build a picture of this man's identity.

"We are carrying out research around the pendant via the Internet and relevant authorities but I hope that someone recognises what this pendant signifies and comes forward with this information."
