Police Launch Landfill Search for Missing Man Believed Murdered in Essex

Detectives suspect Cumali Turhan, 45, was killed and his body discarded in a bin after a violent assault in Chelmsford.

Cumali Turhan, 45, was last seen on November 19 at a Chelmsford pub and later believed to have visited a bar where CCTV shows he never exited.
Police have charged Ciprian Ilie, 44, with assisting an offender and preventing lawful burial, while a second suspect has left the country and remains at large.
A specialized search of a 5,000-square-meter landfill site in Essex is underway, following forensic investigations at multiple locations, including the Barista venue.
Detectives believe Turhan was violently assaulted at Barista and are focusing efforts on locating his body to provide answers for his family.
Essex Police are appealing to the public, including Chelmsford's Turkish community, for information and urging against social media speculation during the investigation.
