The body of a man discovered in the River Gipping, in Ipswich, has been provisionally identified as 47-year-old Hubert Mojsiuszko, who went missing more than a month earlier.

Suffolk police said that, subject to confirmation at formal coroner's inquest proceedings, the body had been provisionally identified as being Mr Mojsiuszko.

Mr Mojsiuszko was a reported missing person, last seen on Monday, November 2.

Police said his next of kin had been informed, and that there were not currently believed to be any suspicious circumstances, but that a file would be prepared for the coroner in due course.
