POLICE are appealing for help to trace the final movements of a man whose body was discovered on a Kent beach four days after he went missing.

Sergei Tserkassov, 52, was last seen alive leaving his home address in Millfield, Folkestone, at about 8pm on Tuesday, January 2.

His body was found on Saturday, January 6, among rocks on the beach near the Lower Sandgate Road, Sandgate.

Anyone who saw Mr Tserkassov between these times is asked to contact Det Sgt Kev Gurr on 01303 289417.

He was a white man of Estonian origin, of slim build, with receding dark brown/grey short wavy hair and side burns.

He was wearing a dark blue zip top with red and white colours in it, black trousers, a dark green coat with a hood, and brown lace-up shoes.

Police are not treating his death as suspicious at the present time. An inquest is due to be opened this Thursday.
