The body of a man who was murdered in a case of mistaken identity lay undiscovered for weeks despite police being tipped off about it numerous times.

Michael Wheeler, 37, was brutally attacked and killed by Mark Roberts and David Garland on August 24 last year after believing he was a convicted paedophile.

He was brutally attacked at Roberts's flat in Yeovil in the early hours of the morning , suffering multiple injuries, including 11 skull and facial fractures.

Mr Wheeler's body was later found in a derelict caravan on farmland in Yarlington on September 25 last year.

On the day of his death, Avon and Somerset Police had received an anonymous call to say someone had been heard shouting 'call the police' and sent officers to a flat in Yeovil where a man refused to let them in.
