'Mystery feet' found on riverbank. Gwent Police are checking all missing persons records after a pair of feet in training shoes were washed up in the Severn Estuary.
Two fishermen found the body parts, in size eight Diadora trainers, near the Second Severn Crossing at the weekend.
Detectives have since ruled out a connection with a woman, aged 38, whose body was washed up on riverbanks in February.
Gwent Police are calling Richey Edwards' family
Instead, they are contacting families of missing persons, including Manic Street Preachers guitarist Richey Edwards, to trace the owner of the remains.
The rock star, who would now be aged 34, vanished seven years ago before his car was found abandoned at a Severn service station two weeks later.
One of the found feet - caked in mud along with socks and believed to be that of a man - was discovered at Sudbrook near Chepstow on Sunday evening.
Gwent Police later found the second after a search of the area, but a search on Monday morning by the Severn Area Rescue Association did not find additional remains.
Detectives said the blue-and-white trainers were washed up on a recent high tide.
hmmm...! No clue to how they were disassociated from the rest of the legs though, whether they were bitten/chewed pulled or sawn(sawed) off.
