It s hoped a 3D virtual sculpture and digital facial reconstruction will help identify a man whose decomposed body was found in a bag on the NSW far north coast almost a decade ago.
The cotton-fibre style bag holding his remains was found on the banks of the Tweed River at Tumbulgum, about 10km east of Murwillumbah, by a member of the public on November 24, 2012.
A post mortem found the remains belonged to a Caucasian man aged between 50 to 70 who wore dentures, was 163cm tall, with a thin build and grey hair tied in a ponytail with a blue band.
NSW Police have used new technologies to create this digital image of the face of the man found deceased in a bag in 2012. A post mortem examination showed the man was Caucasian and aged between 50 to 70-years-old. He was 163cm tall, with a thin build and grey hair tied in a ponytail
