Identity Of Man Found Dead In Well Revealed

A man whose bound body was found in a well in Surrey has been identified by police as Damian Chlywka, a 30-year-old Polish national.

Workmen discovered Mr Chlywka's body in the well outside an address in Audley Drive in Warlingham on November 15.

A team of specialist officers, including Metropolitan Police divers, found Mr Chlywka's body showed injuries "consistent with an assault".

He had been tied up and it is thought he had been there for around two years.

Further tests are being carried out as a post-mortem held on November 17 did not provide a cause of death.

A 41-year-old man and a 33-year-old man were arrested on Friday on suspicion of murder and taken into custody at south London police stations.

The pair were later bailed until the middle of January.

Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons, the officer leading the investigation, said: "Damian had lived at various addresses across London including two known to be in the Croydon area. At one point he had lived at 11A Audley Road.

"Our focus now is to build up a fuller picture of Damian's life in the UK.

"We have given the difficult and heartbreaking news to his family who are distraught that this has happened to their loved one.

"I am appealing to anyone who knew or previously worked with him to contact the police and help us to piece together a picture of Damian's life and how it came to end in these distressing circumstances."

Police initially arrested seven men, aged between 21 and 27, on suspicion of murder.

They were subsequently released on bail until a date in late December.
