In the 1980s a body of a man was found during building work at the Lanes Shopping Center in Carlisle, England. It appeared that he had been murdered as his head showed evidence of damage by a weapon that caused a small entry wound and large exit, and he had several facial injuries. It's impossible to know who had killed and dumped this man in a well as it had happened 1,700 years before in the 3rd Century A.D.
The man was called Duncan by excavators. It's believed that this was an unlawful killing and hiding of the body. At the time of his death, it was against the law for anybody to buried inside city limits. The dead had to buried outside of the city and if caught the family of the deceased would be paying a heft fine.
It's unknown now if this man's murder had been known or solved. This case will always remain a mystery
