The only real clue to his identity was a ring bearing the inscription: "Georgio And Katrina 1956".
Now a team of experts, including a Welsh university criminologist, hope to focus their efforts on discovering who the individual was, where he was from and why he died.''

''He was found at Porth Minick beach, and had been in the sea for an estimated four months.
Aged between 40 and 60, he was white, with dark brown, greying hair, and was 5ft 4in tall (1.63m), and wearing a two-tone blue and white short-sleeved shirt with a woollen Eltex vest underneath''.
''The only other information is the ring he wore with the inscription on the ring finger of his right hand - thought to be a wedding band''.
