Police have identified two suspects in the murder mystery case of a miner whose remains were found buried in a field 56 years after he vanished.

Dad-of-six Alfred Swinscoe, 54, was last seen drinking at the Miners Arms pub in Pinxton, Notts., in January 1967.

He had given his son money to buy a round of drinks before going outside to use the toilet at around 10.30pm.

Tragically he was never seen alive again - sparking decades of agony for his family as they sought to uncover what happened to him.

His remains were found more than 50 years later in April last year in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Notts., where digging work was being carried out on farmland.
