The body of Ashley Dighton was discovered on 11 July 2007 in woodland behind Sainsbury's supermarket in Ashford, Kent.

The cause of Ashley's death remains unknown. His body was found in a badly decomposed state. A police search found items of his clothing in a plastic bag close to the body but some clothing is still missing.

The 19-year-old was last seen on Monday 11 June 2007 on leaving the supermarket in Simone Weil Avenue, Kennington, Ashford, Kent, United Kingdom.

Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen Ashley either at Sainsbury's or in Ashford town centre on 11 June 2007 to come forward.

Ashley was 5ft 7in tall and of slim build. He had green eyes, dark brown hair and two tattoos; the word SKA on his right arm and a Tweetie Pie character on his left shoulder.

Ashley's father, Ambrose Dighton around four years ago seeked help from 2 physics. He paid £45 for a sitting with former Metropolitan Police officer Keith Charles, who is known in spiritualist circles as the psychic cop, after reading about him helping to solve murders in America, Canada and Britain. He has also spoken in depth with 22-year-old clairvoyant Leoni Hukins, from South Ashford, after she told him she is regularly in contact with Ashley, a former school friend. Both physics are adamant that Ashley was not killed in the woodland behind Sainsbury's supermarket where he's body was found, the physics were not known to each-other in anyway.

What happened to Ashley?
 
I wonder what any new development is with this case. I believe the family have a private investigator now but no recent news.
 
I wonder if with a new private investigator on the case the woods will be re-visited. I have always said that a cadaver should search the area again, although it may be too late to pick up any scent even if some of Ashley's clothes are still in the area.

His body was partially naked and his head has never been found.

I wonder why his hand was removed and his head.
There have been several animal mutilations in nearby Snodland, Kent where ears and other body parts were removed.

Cat found stabbed with his ears cut off

If there is a random perpetrator who killed Ashley in this shocking manner then maybe they are now getting their kicks from mutilating animals. It is usually the other way round with animal abuse first but who knows what goes through a sick persons mind IMOO.
 
I have just been listening to True crime investigators podcast about Monika Zumsteg who was also decapitated. There is a discussion on the podcast about how some people take body parts home for trophies even putting the remains on a settee to form some kind of attachment.
