Body found on railway

THE body of a man believed to be from the Basingstoke area has been found on the tracks at Winchester railway station.

A train driver spotted the body at about 11.30pm on Saturday. He had suffered severe impact injuries.

The dead man is aged around 60.

British Transport Police believe they know his identity but were today unable to track down his next of kin.

Detective Constable Trevor Wilson said: "The death is not suspicious. He was alone. The question is whether he jumped or fell."

A CCTV camera at the station recorded the man at around 8.45pm. Det Con Wilson would like to speak to anyone who saw the man between then and around 11.30pm.

Anyone with information should contact BTP on 0800 405040.
