Police appeal as body is found in city graveyard

The grim discovery was made in the Trinity burial ground, just off busy Castle Street in the city yesterday morning.

Police said the man, who reportedly was not wearing a top, was between 40 and 60 years old with greying hair and tattoos on both arms.

Officers are describing the death only as “unexplained” and have appealed for information from anyone who saw or heard anything in the vicinity of the graveyard on Tuesday night.

Officers were called by the ambulance service, who had been alerted by a member of the public. The area surrounding the point where the body was found was cordoned off as police launched an investigation.
