Officers are liaising with partners in law enforcement nationally and internationally to establish the man's movements in the days and weeks before he was found
Police are appealing for any information about a man whose body was found at the roadside in Brentwood.
The man was found in Lincolns Lane early on 19 March. Officers believe the man is Vietnamese national Vo Thai Son, who was living in the UK at the time.
An investigation was launched following the discovery and detectives are liaising with partners in law enforcement nationally and internationally to establish his movements in the days and weeks before he was found.
Now, the force are appealing for the public’s help in building this picture.
They have launched a Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP), in both Vietnamese and English, for anyone to come forward and share what they may know.
Detective Chief Inspector Greg Wood said: “This is an incredibly complex investigation, with my officers continuing to explore further lines of enquiry to find out how Thai Son came to be at the side of this road.
“It’s important we provide those answers for his loved ones, and that anyone who knew him tells us what they know about him.
“We are not treating his death as suspicious at this time, but there are questions we must answer about the circumstances of this discovery.”
