Renewed appeal
Bexley police are reiterating appeals to members of the public to help trace the movements of a man prior to his death in May 2006.

On the morning of Friday 12th May 2006 between 00.15 and 01.00 police were called to reports of a man found dead in the carriageway of Picardy Manor Way, Lower Belvedere, Kent close to the junction with Poppy Close.

The man was subsequently identified as Ebi Sollili a Tanzanian national who also used the names Mohmed Bakari Maulidi and Max Kitmalale.

Police are trying to establish where he was living and possibly working in the UK. It is believed he had only just come into the country when he died but police do not know how he arrive in the UK whether by plane, boat or train.

Police are appealing to members of the public who may recognise Ebi and who may have seen him at any time prior to May 2006. Ebi is described as a dark skinned black male with a round face and full lips. 5’6” (168cm) tall with a slight pencil moustache and short black hair, aged about 30 years.

He also had two distinctive tattoos on his forearms.

Ebi was subsequently discovered to have packages containing over a kilogram of high purity Cocaine in his digestive system and is now believed to have been thrown out of a moving vehicle at that location.

Detective Inspector Steve Goddard of Bexley Police who leads the investigation says: “We continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Ebi Sollili. I am asking for anyone who may know who he is, or who has information about how he came to be here to contact us in confidence.”

The inquest has opened and adjourned on 7.6.06 at Croydon Magistrates Court. A post mortem failed to establish a cause of death. We still await the outcome of toxicology tests re cause of death.

The death is still being treated as unexplained at this stage.

Callers can reach police via the Bexley Police victim desk from 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 4pm on Saturdays, on 0208 284 9342 or by calling Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 at anytime.”

Frustration
The Leader of Bexley Council, Cllr Ian Clement, expressed his frustration, after a judge decided to reject the application for a Judicial Review of the government’s decision to approve the Belvedere incinerator. This decision was after the consideration of the papers by the Judge.

Bexley Council submitted the application jointly with the Mayor of London in July, when a petition opposing the scheme signed by thousands of local residents was also submitted to 10 Downing Street.

“Building an incinerator at Belvedere will be bad for Bexley, bad for London and bad for the environment,” said Cllr Clement. “It’s frustrating because we can see it, the Mayor can see it, but the government just will not listen to us.”

“We’ve been considering this latest decision carefully and after discussions with the Mayor of London’s team we have both decided to take this matter forward to the next stage which is an opportunity for the reasons why we consider this decision should be reviewed to be heard before a Judge at a hearing. The effects of the Government’s decision upon the Borough are so significant that it must be right that such arguments are fully aired before a final ruling is made.”
