Hide AdDet Chief Insp Matt Hewson, said: “We are very keen to hear from anyone who knew Jan Pawel or who has knowledge of his whereabouts from Christmas Eve onwards. Although his body was found in the waterway close to the town centre, it is possible that it entered the water some distance up-river.”
