Human remains found on beach believed to be male

Police were alerted to the the discovery of human remains on a beach by the Menai Strait in Wales on the morning of Wednesday 7 February.

They say post mortem confirmed the remains are of a right foot and believed to be male.

Police say it is difficult to ‘age’ the remains and tests indicate they had been in the water for no more than a week.

They say the post mortem revealed nothing to suggest the death is suspicious.

Enquires to identify the remains and inform relatives are ongoing.

The grim discovery was made at Y Felinheli, a village between Bangor and Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales.
