Body found after search for missing Jewish man

A body has been found following a search for a missing Jewish man in north London.

Officers from Barnet police worked with volunteers from Shomrim and Community Security Trust after a 56-year-old from Edgware disappeared on Wednesday.

Shomrim named the man as Raphael Goldwyn after a body was discovered in a slip road in Bushey, Hertfordshire, on Thursday morning.

Dozens of people had joined the search and a police helicopter with heat-seeking equipment was deployed.

Officers are investigating but do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances and are not searching for anyone else in connection to the death.
