A body in a wetsuit found in a reservoir more than two weeks ago has still not been identified.

Dyfed-Powys Police said the body, pulled from Claerwen Reservoir, Powys, on 18 October, was a man, believed to be aged between 30 and 60.

Det Insp Anthea Ponting said a post-mortem examination had been conducted and the man was about 6ft (1.83m) and wearing a Zone 3 Agile wetsuit.

She added it was estimated he had been dead for between three and 12 weeks.

"If you think this new information could relate to someone you may know please speak to police."

She added officers would like to hear from anyone who had been to the area since the start of July and seen anything that caught their attention, such as bags or shoes.
