New appeal to find man who went missing four years ago

Police are issuing a renewed appeal for information about the whereabouts of a man who went missing from east London four years ago.

Hussam Bashraheil was last seen in the Poplar area on 14 January 2021. He was 21 years old at the time of his disappearance and would now be 25.

Officers from the Central East Missing Persons Unit continue to lead on the enquiry. They believe he travelled to the Theydon Bois area of Essex on 30 January 2021. Since then it is possible he has travelled beyond London, and is now living elsewhere in the UK.

Police believe Hussam may have been going by a different name and could have established links with people in the local homeless communities.

Hussam's picture may not accurately reflect how he looks today. At the time of his disappearance he had dark curly hair, however he may have changed his hairstyle or grown facial hair. He is 5ft 11ins tall.

Officers from the Central East Missing Persons Unit have said: "If anyone has seen or heard from Hussam, or if Hussam is reading this appeal, we would urge them to please contact us. We would like Hussam to know that there are many people concerned for his wellbeing who would be delighted to hear from him again."
