Detectives are investigating following the death of a man in the Silkstone
Common area of Barnsley.
Yesterday evening (Thursday 6 September), at around 5.40pm, emergency
services received a call stating that the body of a man had been found in a
wooded area, just behind Moorend Lane, close to the Trans Pennine Trail.
An investigation into the man’s death is in the early stages and a cordon is
currently in place while detectives carry out enquiries.
Detective Chief Inspector Steve Whittaker, the Senior Investigating Officer,
said: “The man was found by a member of the public, with severe injuries,
and we are working hard to ascertain the exact circumstances which led to
his death.
“Enquiries are ongoing and officers will remain in the area throughout the
day and into the evening and weekend, speaking to people and examining the
area for forensic opportunities.
“We are keen to speak to anyone who was in the area yesterday, and who may
have seen or heard anything suspicious. It’s extremely close to the Trans
Pennine Trail, which we know is popular with dog walkers, runners, and
cyclists. If you saw anything that you think could assist with enquiries,
please get in touch with us.
“The man, thought to be in his 40s, has not yet been formally identified and
this will take place over the coming days, along with a post-mortem
examination.”
If you have any information about the man’s death, please call 101 or

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: January 24, 2019 11:28:24 AM Scotland’s former First Minister Alex Salmond has been arrested by police and charged, with a report sent to the procurator fiscal. He is due to appear in court in Edinburgh later today. Sky News are reporting that proceedings are now live under the Contempt of Court Act. Police did not say what Salmond, who served as first minister from 2007 to 2014, is charged with. Two people have made harassment complaints against the SNP grandee but he denies them and took successful legal action against the Scottish government over their investigation. Earlier this month a court said the government’s decisions were “procedurally unfair and… tainted with apparent bias”. At the time Salmond said he is “not guilty of any criminality whatsoever.” The party leader resigned following the loss of the Scottish independence referendum but represented Gordon in the House of Commons from 2015 to 2017.
