The body of a man feared ‘dumped in a bin’ has been found at landfill site in Essex.
Cumali Turhan, 46, vanished from Chelmsford nearly two months ago on Monday, November 18. Police believe he was murdered.
Last seen at The Globe pub on Rainsford Road, he is believed to have then visited Barista bar and restaurant on Duke Street. But CCTV didn’t show Mr Turhan leaving.
The search for the missing man focused on a landfill site in Essex, where police located his body on Saturday.

Detective Chief Inspector Louise Metcalfe said: ‘Specialist officers have been working diligently for 45 days at the landfill site in conditions that have called heavily on their resilience.
‘Their hard work has continued unabated even during the extreme weather to support detectives who have worked quickly to progress the extremely challenging investigation.
‘Throughout this difficult time, we have been in regular contact with Cumali’s family.
‘They will continue to be supported by specialist officers as it will take some time for them to come to terms with this news.’
Police are appealing for information about Cehyan Dinler, 38, a suspect from Chelmsford who left the country via Stanstead Airport on the day Mr Turhan went missing.
One man has appeared in court, faced with two charges connected to Mr Turhan’s disappearance.
Ciprian Illie, 44, pleaded not guilty to assisting an offender and preventing lawful and decent burial of a dead body when he appeared at Chelmsford Crown Court on December 23.
He is due to appear in court for trial in September.
