Golf Course Body 'Had Head Injury'
The young man whose body was found badly burnt on a Brighton golf course, died from a head injury, a post-mortem has revealed.
The body of the man, who was in his late teens or early twenties, was found between the 17th and 18th holes at the Dyke Golf club on the outskirts of Brighton, just before midday on Saturday.
Sussex Police have revealed that the man died from a blow to the head, but it is not yet known what caused the injury.
Police believe that the victim was killed elsewhere before being brought to the golf club and set alight.
They have also rejected suggestions that the man had been mutilated and that a foot had been removed.
Detective Chief Inspector Trevor Bowles, who is leading the Sussex Police Major Crime Branch enquiry, said: "Initial results from the post mortem, which took eight hours, suggest that this young man died from a head injury. We have not established yet what may have caused the injury and further examination of the body and tests are being carried out.
"We know that the man was probably in his late teens or 20s, was 5' 4" and of very slim build. What is particularly significant is that he had an upper dental plate with five false teeth, very unusual in a person of that age."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on: 0845 60 70 999.
