A murdered African boy whose torso was found in the River Thames in 2001 and whose identity has remained a mystery has been named by a key witness.
Former Glasgow resident Joyce Osagiede, who now lives in Nigeria, told BBC News the boy's name was Patrick Erhabor.
She claims she looked after him when she lived in Germany before he was trafficked into the UK.
Detectives - who named the boy "Adam" - believe he was murdered as part of a ritual sacrifice.
Adam's torso was found on 21 September 2001 near Tower Bridge in central London.
His arms, legs and head had been expertly cut off.
No-one has been charged with the murder.
Forensic tests showed he was from the Benin City area of Nigeria.

A tip-off led to Joyce Osagiede who, in 2002, was living in Glasgow.
Officers thought she was involved in some way, but due to a lack of evidence and doubts about her mental state she was deported to Nigeria.
But last year Ms Osagiede contacted BBC News and said she was now prepared to reveal everything she knew about the case.
A BBC team travelled to her home in Benin City in southern Nigeria, together with Nick Chalmers, a former detective who worked on the Adam investigation.
Ms Osagiede told the BBC she looked after the boy in the weeks before he was trafficked to London and then murdered.
For the first time she revealed what she claimed was his real name.
She said he was called Patrick Erhabor - and that his mother's surname was Oghogho - and she claimed the child was brought to her when she lived in Germany.
In the past, she has told officers she then handed the boy over to a man she called "Bawa" who took him to the UK.
Now, for the first time, she has identified "Bawa" as Kingsley Ojo - a bogus asylum seeker who first came to London in 1997.
