Police Search Tunnels For Nottingham Murder Victim

Police investigating the murder of a 21-year-old man in Nottingham in January 2014 are to search tunnels beneath a former cigarette factory which were destroyed in a fire.

Police are continuing to search for the remains of Bogdan Mawrocki, who went missing from his home in Radford at the start of 2014.

Robert Marcinkiewicz-Szurkowski, 27, was jailed for 27 years for the murder of Mr Mawrocki, whose body has never been recovered.

Police have said that their latest search for Mr Mawrocki's body will focus on tunnels that run beneath the Player Street building, which was destroyed in a 10-day fire at the end of March.

It is understood that the fire at the former cigarette factory is not connected to the murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Heydon, who led the investigation, said: "We succeeded in seeing justice carried out for Bogdan but despite a vast amount of searches we have been unable to give his family the opportunity to give him the funeral he deserves.

"We still have a £5,000 reward for information so if you know anything that could help it's not too late."
