Murder probe after more body parts found near Cleethorpes

Police recovered a human leg from the Tetney Lock area of Lincolnshire, last Thursday and further searches of the area led to the discovery of other body parts on land near by on Friday and Sunday.

The victim has now been identified as Adam Vincent, 33, formerly of Alexandra Road, Grimsby.

Five men are now in custody being questioned over the grisly finds.

Four men aged 43, 31, 21, and 19 were arrested in the Grimsby area on Sunday, and a fifth man, aged 34, was arrested this morning.

Several properties in Grimsby and Scunthorpe have been cordoned off.

Police believe Mr Vincent’s death may be connected to his use of drugs.

Det Chief Insp Mark Oliver, of Humberside Police, said: “”We are in the very early stages of a murder inquiry and I would appeal to anyone who may have information to contact police as a matter of urgency.

“Mr Vincent was a local drug user. At this time the circumstances of his death are unknown. One line of enquiry is that this may be connected to his drug use.

“I am not aware of any threats towards Mr Vincent and have no information as to the motive.

“I am appealing to anyone in the Grimsby area who may have seen Adam Vincent. The last likely sighting of him was on Friday, 11 February, in the Scartho area. I am asking for people who knew Adam Vincent and may have seen him since that date to contact police.

“At this time officers are still trying to establish where Mr Vincent died and any information, no matter how small could be of use to our investigation.

“Along with information about Mr Vincent I am appealing to anyone who may have seen a suspicious vehicle in the Tetney area any time from the early hours on Thursday, 3 March.”
