Following enquiries undertaken I believe he was the victim of a violent attack.
Tests are continuing to establish the cause of death however initial indications are that Tony died from head injuries.
Specialist officers are continuing to support Tony’s family and I would like to thank the public for coming forward to assist us with this enquiry, particularly those living in the area where Tony was discovered.
