Can You ID River Death Victim?


Police have released this E-Fit in a bid to identify the body of a man found on the south side of the river Thames a year ago.

On May 25 last year the deceased was found near Nine Elms Pier, Nine Elms, Wandsworth and police are continuing to try and put a name to him.

Wandsworth’s Missing Persons Unit are appealing for any family or friends to come forward.

The man is described as white, of medium build and approx 5' 10" tall.

He has close cropped receding brown hair and blue eyes and at the time of his death was wearing a grey nylon zip up hooded jacket with the motif 'CAT' on the left breast.

He was wearing black combat style trousers with a yellow caterpillar logo on the left middle leg pocket and was wearing a black leather belt with a silver coloured Levi buckle, green Entrek walking boots and black socks.

Under his hooded top he wore a black collared T-shirt with a small white Adidas emblem on the breast.



Police found on his body a small matchbox sized Sony radio and a pair of black and silver Panasonic earphones, two cigarette lighters and a black sharpie marker pen.



Police Constable Laurie Waye of Wandsworth's Missing Persons Unit, said: “We are hoping to hear from anyone who thinks they might have known this man.

“You may know someone who carried these items or who wore these clothes who is no longer around anymore.

“Someone, somewhere, must be suffering not knowing what happened to their loved one.

“If you think that you know who this man is, no matter how much information you have, you may help us piece together his story and finally let his next of kin know what happened to him.”



Anyone with information is asked to call the Wandsworth Missing Persons Unit on 020 8247 8174 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
