Investigators want to question 28-year-old Pyotr Melaniuk over the death of Peter Avis at his home on January 13.

Mr Melaniuk, who is Polish, is also thought to go by the names Irek Marciewicz, Pyotr Kelaniuil, Kamil Wislak and Ireneusz Melaniuk.

He is described as white, 5ft 6ins tall, of slim to medium build with short hair. He has several distinguishing features as the two middle fingers of his right hand are missing above the knuckles, together with his right thumb. He also has tattoos on his hands and a spider tattoo on his right arm.

He is believed to have connections to Tottenham, Stoke Newington and Brighton, but police say he could be elsewhere in the country.

Det Supt Julian Gregory, head of the Norfolk and Suffolk major investigation team, said: “We would like to hear from anyone who may have seen Melaniuk recently or, more importantly, anyone with information about where he is now.

“I would stress that if anyone does see Melaniuk or someone they suspect to be him, they should not approach him but should call police immediately, using 999 if necessary.

“We would like to reassure the public that we are working closely with other forces to apprehend this man as soon as possible.”

Anyone who may have seen him or have information on his location is urged to call investigators on 0800 096 1011, or 020 7158 0126 if calling from abroad, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
