A Finsbury Park man whose body was discovered on Sunday has been named by police investigating his murder.
The victim was named as Franciszek Karol Malinkowski, 51, a construction worker originally from Poland although formal identification is yet to take place.
Officers were called at about 11.35am after Mr Malinkowski’s body was discovered on overgrown waste ground between Ermine Road in South Tottenham and the nearby railway line.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and next of kin have been informed.
A post-mortem examination on April 28 at Haringey Mortuary gave the cause of death as multiple injuries.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses and information.
Det Ch Insp Tim Duffield, who is leading the investigation under the Homicide and Major Crime Command unit, said: “Mr Malinowski was a hard working man with no obvious enemies. We are trying to build a detailed picture of his life and I would urge anyone who knew him, or for that matter anybody with information about the scrubland near Ermine Road, to contact us.
