UK Police seeking Identity of Gambian Man
An e-fit photograph has been released by police in the United Kingdom, in their efforts to identify a man who was discovered dead in the undercarriage of a jet at Gatwick Airport.
On December 7, a Tui flight departing from The Gambia’s capital of Banjul found the man who had no identification documents on him.
The matter is being investigated by police in order to formally identify the man.
“Somewhere, this man will have relatives or loved ones who do not know what has happened to him,” Det Insp Darren Lillywhite said.
Sussex Police is collaborating with the High Commissioner for The Gambia, Interpol, and the HM Coroner.
According to Det Insp Lillywhite, the male is in his 20s or 30s.
“This was a tragic case,” he explained.
“We hope to be able to identify him for the purposes of an inquest to be held by HM Coroner, which may provide at least some answers and closure for those who knew him.”
He stated that authorities are looking for anyone in the UK who was due to meet a friend or family member who did not come in December.
A direct flight from The Gambia to the United Kingdom typically takes about six and a half hours.
