The Body on the Moor
Who was the man who died from a rare kind of poisoning in a remote area of the UK?
On 12 December 2015, a man’s body was found by a moorland track on Saddleworth Moor in northern England. He had nothing on him showing his identity. No-one knew who he was. And he had died from a rare kind of poisoning.
Who is this man? Where did he come from? Why has nobody reported him missing?
Their biggest lead was brought to the mortuary within the body itself. It was inside his left leg. And it’s a clue which took the inquiry to Pakistan. Police believe he took his own life but did he travel nearly 4000 miles to die in this particular place?
