A body found in Orkney was likely to have been a murder victim dating back as far as 2,000 years, it has emerged.
The skeleton of the man was found during an Iron Age site excavation at Mine Howe, Tankerness.

Experts believe it dates from between 100 BC and 100 AD and now hope to establish more about where the man came from and what may have happened.
