Council officers and the Police have been keeping me informed of progress into the investigation following the discovery of a man’s body at the Stratford Centre Car Park on Wednesday.
The investigation team, following extensive enquiries have charged an adult male for the offence of murder.
The process of formally identifying the deceased male is still ongoing. The investigation team are making every effort to do this expeditiously, so that they can inform the family and provide them with specialist support.
It is encouraging to see this investigation move on quickly. My thanks to the officers involved. The incident has been unsettling for many and I hope this progress reassures everyone.
If anyone has information or material that could help police should call 101 and quote CAD reference 4130/9 Jan.
