MYSTERY surrounds a body found close to a popular UK wildlife reserve.
Police have launched a murder investigation following the grim discovery at a spot where a huge fire appears to have erupted several months ago.
Cops were called to a wooded area on Southampton Common on Wednesday (October 8) after a member of the public found what is understood to be an adult’s remains.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary’s Major Crime Team is currently treating the death as suspicious.
Detectives believe the person may have been homeless and living on the Common.
A force statement added: “There are indications there was a significant fire at some point in the same location as to where the body was found.
“This may have been a number of months ago.”
