Investigators have used digital reconstruction to visualise the face of a skull found nearly two decades ago by children playing in Sydney bushland.

Forensic experts believe the male aged 35 to 45 died between 1980 to 1985.

Now, a Scotland university has conducted a digital facial reconstruction.

Police are encouraging anyone who recognises the man to come forward.

The Daily Telegraph’s Mark Morri tells John Stanley detectives discovered he was right-handed.

“All this profiling that they built up is just fascinating and their determination to keep going ahead to try and find it.”
