1: Lindow Man, whose 2,000-year-old body was found in a peat bog in Cheshire, was the victim of a "simple murder and not a ritual sacrifice", according to two academics. They say that the British Museum should remove the preserved body from its galleries and erase him from the history books. | This is a model of what they think he looked like before he died.

2: The museum describes Lindow Man as a 25-year-old man who met a harsh death. His skull was smashed by blows from a heavy object, he was strangled with a cord and his throat was cut. He was allowed to bleed for a time before being placed face down in a pond in the bog.
