News / Police struggle to find relatives
POLICE in Shetland have not named a Polish man whose body was found in a house in Lerwick last Thursday, as they face difficulties tracing next of kin.
A most mortem on the 41 year old was carried out earlier this week. It will take two weeks for the results of a blood test to come through to determine whether the death was drug related.
Detective sergeant Lindsay Tulloch said this morning (Wednesday) that officers were continuing with their enquiries.
“The man has been identified as a Polish national which has caused the authorities some difficulty in tracing next of kin,” he said.
A report into the death has been submitted to the procurator fiscal, in Lerwick.
