Who is woman whose skull was found in North Sea?

The woman's face has been recreated by experts

A recreation of the face of a woman whose skull found by the crew of a fishing boat in the North Sea has been issued by police.

The discovery was made about 150 miles (240km) off the coast of Peterhead last year.

Forensic work has suggested the skull belonged to a woman who was aged under 50. Her death is being treated as unexplained.

Police hope someone may recognise the woman, after facial reconstruction work was carried out in collaboration with the University of Dundee.

Officers were alerted to the find on 15 May last year.

Det Sgt Emma Wright said: "Inquiries continue to identify this woman and establish what happened to her.

"We hope sharing this facial reconstruction will assist in with our investigations and help reunite her with her family."

Appealing for information, Det Sgt Wright added: "If you recognise the woman's face, or any of the other details mentioned, please get in touch."
