Mystery still surrounds the death of Huw Williams who went missing from a house in Sherwood before his remains were found by a river bank more than 130 miles away. An inquest into his death was held at the Council House in Nottingham on Friday, June 10, and the coroner was satisfied that Mr Williams had died after a lengthy police investigation.
The inquest heard that Mr Williams' foot was found on the banks of the River Severn on January 2, 2022. DNA samples taken by police from Huw's toothbrush provided a match with the discovery on Severndale Lane in the tiny village of Tidenham in Chepstow, Gloucestershire - the other remains of his body have never been found.
The 25-year-old, who is originally from Chester, was reported missing on May 6, 2021 - his last known address was in Danethorpe Vale, in Sherwood. Police and forensics spent 10 days searching the house as part of their investigation. The inquest heard that Mr Williams had been living with his partner in Nottingham, moving around Christmas of 2020.
