Man named in Barnsley murder investigation
A 48-year-old man whose body was discovered in the Silkstone Common area of
Barnsley earlier this week has now been formally identified.
Gary Dean, from Silkstone Common, was found at around 5.40pm on Thursday 6
September, in a wooded area behind Moorend Lane, close to the Trans Pennine
Trail.
A forensic post mortem examination into Mr Dean’s cause of death is ongoing.
His family has been informed and are receiving support from police. They ask
that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.
Two people, a 40-year-old man and a 76-year-old woman, have been arrested in
connection with Mr Dean’s death. The man has been arrested on suspicion of
murder, the woman on suspicion of assisting an offender. Both remain in
police custody today (Saturday 8 September).
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Whittaker, who is overseeing the
investigation, said: “Our inquiry continues in earnest to understand what
happened to Mr Dean and I’m appealing to anyone who may have seen him before
his death to contact police.
“When he was last seen by his loved ones on Thursday morning, he was
reportedly wearing trainers and a bright red long-sleeved running top. Did
you see Mr Dean in the woods, or near to the Trans Pennine Trail, that
morning? Did you see him at all on Thursday?
“We’re working to piece together his movements on Thursday so if anyone
holds any information that could help, please get in touch.”
The cordon that was in place at the scene has now been lifted and enquiries
are ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call South Yorkshire Police on 101
quoting incident number 628 of 6 September 2018. You can also give
information to Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555 111.
