DETECTIVES are hoping images of a man found dead in the street will help them piece together his last movements.

It is believed Ebi Sollili had just arrived in Britain from Tanzania when he was discovered in Picardy Manor Way, Lower Belvedere, Bexley, in May.

But police still have no idea how the man - who also used the names Mohmed Bakari Maulidi and Max Kitmalale - came to the country or where he lived.

Mr Sollili is thought to have been thrown from a moving vehicle onto the road, close to the junciton with Poppy Close, in the early hours of Friday, May 12.

He had two distinctive tattoos on his forearms. Packages containing more than a kilogram of high-purity cocaine were later found in his digestive system.

Detectives don't yet know how he died but are treating his death as unexplained. They are now appealing for anyone who recognises him to come forward.

Det Insp Steve Goddard said: "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."

Mr Sollili was black, aged about 30, around 5ft 6in tall, with a slight pencil moustache, short black hair and a round face with full lips.

A post mortem examination failed to establish a cause of death and police are waiting for the results of toxicology tests. An inquest was adjourned at Croydon Magistrates'Court in June.

Anyone with information is asked to call Bexley police on 0208 284 9342 between 7am and 7pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 4pm on Saturday, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
