A man arrested on suspicion of murdering a man whose body was found in
woodland has been released on bail.

Gary Dean, 48, was discovered with severe injuries at Silkstone Common, near
Barnsley, on Thursday.

A 40-year-old man who was questioned on suspicion of murder and a woman, 76,
arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, have been released on bail.

A post-mortem examination found Mr Dean died from “injuries resulting from a
significant assault”.

South Yorkshire Police has appealed for anyone who may have seen Mr Dean on
Thursday to come forward.

Det Chief Inspector Steve Whittaker said: “We know that when Mr Dean was
last seen by loved ones on Thursday morning, he was wearing trainers and a
bright red running top.

“The post-mortem has revealed that Mr Dean was subjected to a violent and
significant attack, so we need to hear from anyone who can help us piece
together his movements that Thursday.”
