Alfred Swinscoe's remains were found in 2023, more than 50 years after he went missing in 1967.
Police have identified two murder suspects thought to have been involved in the death of a miner whose remains were discovered more than 50 years after he went missing.
Officers believe Mr Swinscoe – who last seen at the former Pinxton Miners Arms in Derbyshire – was murdered and then buried in a grave between 4ft and 6ft deep.Police said since the remains were found, scientists had carried out "extensive" work on Mr Swinscoe's bones to determine a cause of death.
"Finding out he was murdered was a shock. It took some sinking in," Mr Lowbridge said. "It's all a bit disturbing and upsetting. Since the age of 14, Mr Swinscoe had worked at Langton Colliery as a "cutter", known for operating a machine that cut large chunks of coal out of the coal face for others to then break down.
Detectives believe a vehicle would have been used in the killing, as it was "some distance" between the pub and where Mr Swinscoe was buried.Mr Lowbridge is now buried at Sutton Cemetery
