UPDATE: Body found in Witney

Mystery surrounds the death of a man whose body was found at a house in a quiet neighbourhood in Witney this morning.

Detectives have launched an investigation and forensic officers and several police vehicles remain at Wadard's Meadow.

Officers were called to the scene at 10.20am and are still trying to establish the identity of the man and ascertain the cause of death.

The man appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s and is understood not to have been carrying identification.

Police are seeking information from anyone who was in the area between midnight and 11am today who may be able to assist the investigation.

Wadard's Meadow resident Lorraine Weller expressed sympathy for the man's family.

She told the Oxford Mail: "It's shocking. Everyone wants to know what's happening. We have never seen anything like this before."

A post-mortem will be held later today.

Witnesses should call Thames Valley Police on 0845 8 505 505. Alternatively, if you do not wish to speak to police or leave your name, call the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.

This is sad, and sadder still is the fact that it was a topic of conversation between a large group of people in Sainsburys when i called in at 6pm. I don't know the name, but send the family my love and wishes.

It's not only Witney. It happens everywhere. Why is everyone so f***ing shocked? We are among murderers, rapists and paedophiles day to day.

i think its awful that someone mentioned spelling on this site, especially when the person was expressing his view. For all THIS super speller critic knows, that person may be dyslexic, and have plucked up the courage to write on this site,or may have spent his evenings looking after a disabled member of the family, whilst others did homework. think before you criticse people for something as insignificant as spelling.
it is awful about the dead man, who is called daniel mills

The death of young Mr Mills is very sad indeed, my thoughts are with his family and friends. I would also like to say that spelling and grammer are very important indeed, such as the use of capital letters to start a new sentence or poeple or place names. Standards have to be upheld.

I believe so. What's sure is that the people who carried out this psychotic and disgusting assault deserve no sympathy. Can anyone confirm or deny it, please?
