The unidentified body was found by firefighters called to a blaze in the bin on the Empress Road Industrial Estate in Southampton’s red light district at around 3.10am on Sunday.

Police said they believed the victim was murdered sometime earlier and moved to the industrial estate, possibly in a wheelie bin.
