How Primark crop top could reveal identity of woman whose decomposed body was found in river 4 months ago
COPS trying to identify a woman whose body was found in a river four months ago have revealed a key clue.
A woman’s body was found in the River Mersey in south Manchester in March.
Cops were unable to identify her due to the length of time she’d been in the water despite extensive enquiries, including specialist examinations and DNA testing.
However, since then images of a a lime green Primark crop-top, believed to be the same one she was wearing have been released.
The woman was also wearing New Look JENNA size 8 jeans and non-slip style socks.
Further specialist examinations are ongoing as they work to discover who she is.
She didn’t have any identifiable items on her or visible jewellery after she was pulled from the river.
Detective Inspector Louise Edwards, from GMP’s Major Investigations Team, previously said: “We remain absolutely committed to discovering the identity of this woman, and we know that someone out there will know who she is.
“We are using every resource available to us as the investigation continues, including assistance from specialist advisers and forensic experts.
“We are determined to reunite this woman with her family and friends and establish the cause of her death.”
Since the shocking discovery, footpaths along the River Mersey were cordoned off and a forensic tent was put up as detectives investigated the scene.
