THE police have identified the body of a man who was found dead in an abandoned bank building in West Yorkshire.
The body of Asghar Badshah, 39, from Bradford was found when police forced entry into the Commercial Street building on Sunday (29).
Two men aged 27 and 30, as well as a 41-year-old woman, have been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Both men have been released under investigation, and the woman is on bail pending further enquiries.
The family of the deceased has been informed.
Detective Chief Inspector Heather Whoriskey of the Homicide and Major Enquiry Team said: “Enquiries are continuing into the death of Mr Badshah, who was reported missing on December 4.
“We believe he was last seen in the early hours of November 30, and I would appeal to anyone who has witnessed any suspicious activity in Commercial Street around that time or since to contact my team, so we can establish if this is linked to our investigation.”
Badshah’s family have also said in a statement: “We, as a family, are deeply shocked and devastated by the loss of our dear brother Asghar Badshah. His beautiful smile and charisma, as well as his generosity, will never be forgotten.
“…We pray for justice for Asghar and appeal to the public for any assistance they can provide to the police in this investigation.”
