Police have named a man found dead on an industrial estate in Loughton at the weekend at 43 year old Koray Alpergin.
He was pronounced dead at around 11:55am on Saturday (October 15) on the Oakwood Hill Industrial Estate.
Metropolitan Police officers were already working to locate Koray and a 33 year old wamn, who has since been found safe.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of murder in Kent on Sunday (October 16) and remain in custody. A 55 year old man was arrested yesterday in Tottenham.
Detective Chief Inspector Kate Kieran, of the Metropolitan Police, said: "This is an extremely fast-paced and complex investigation that involves numerous crime scenes and, at this time, has resulted in the arrest of four men for the murder of Koray Alpergin.
"We believe that Koray and a 33-year-old woman were forced into a white van outside their home address in Ebony Crescent, Enfield, at around 22:30hrs on Thursday, 13 October.
"I would appeal to anyone who was in that area at the time, who may have seen anything, no matter how small, to contact police immediately. I urge people to check doorbell camera or dash cam footage – you may have captured something that could prove crucial to our investigation.
"Although our investigation is still at a very early stage, I am working on the hypothesis that Koray’s kidnappers were possibly known to him and this was not a random attack.
“I can assure residents in Enfield and Essex that we are doing absolutely everything we can to understand the chain of events here, and bring to justice those responsible.”
