Peak District burned body 'is not Corrie McKeague' | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
A dismembered and badly burnt body found in a suitcase in a lay-by near the Peak District does not belong to a missing RAF serviceman, said police. | |
A murder investigation began when a man's remains were found on Monday just off the A628 at Tintwistle, Derbyshire. | |

However, police have said the victim's identity remains unknown so far. | |
The force has been urging people to report missing friends and to think about people they have not have seen for a while amid attempts to identify the body. | |
Post-mortem examinations revealed the remains belonged to a white man under the age of 50, but no DNA matches have been found on the national database. | |
