A | LONDON -- Police in London are offering a “substantial reward” for information regarding the death of a man whose body was found in the basement freezer of a disused wine bar.Roy Bigg went missing in Feb. 2012 for more than nine years until it was discovered in Oct. 2021 by construction workers who had been working on the premises of the site in northeast London.“Just over two years ago, on October 15 2021, police were called to the basement of a building that was formerly Simpson’s Wine Bar on Romford Road in Forest Gate where Roy Bigg’s remains had been discovered,” according to a statement from the Metropolitan Police Press Office on Friday. “We believe that his body may have been in the freezer for a number of years, and that he was aged about 70 when he died.”Following more than two years of investigation following the grisly discovery of Bigg’s body, police are refocusing their efforts on finding out what happened to Bigg in February 2012 and are now offering a “substantial reward of up to £20,000 ($24,260) for information leading to the arrest, charge and prosecution of those responsible for the murder of Roy Bigg.”“It’s now been more than two years since Roy was found. Although our investigation, and previous media appeals have provided us with information about Roy’s life, we still need your help to identify who is responsible,” said Detective Chief Inspector Kelly Allen of the Met's Specialist Crime Command.“Where was he between 2012 and 2021? To date there have been no confirmed sightings of him in this nine year period. Can you help?” Allen continued. “Anything you can tell us may prove invaluable in helping us discover what happened.”A post-mortem examination found Bigg’s cause of death to be inconclusive and the remains were ultimately identified through his dental records.Even though he had been missing since Feb. 2012, the examination did not give a time period of how long he may have been dead for.Anyone who knew Roy Bigg or has any information on what may have happened to him is asked to contact the Metropolitan Police Incident Room and may remain completely anonymous if they choose.。 LONDON -- A crane on tracks was removing a much-loved tree Thursday from the place near the Roman landmark of Hadrian’s Wall in northeastern England where the sycamore was cut down two weeks ago in an apparent act of vandalism.The National Trust, which seeks to protect England’s heritage and natural landscapes, said the crane will lift the often-photographed and painted tree, which some believe to have been around 300 years old, from where it lies near the delicate and now-damaged wall. Andrew Poad, the site’s general manager for the National Trust, said it was necessary to move the tree “both to preserve the world-famous monument that is Hadrian’s Wall, and to make the site safe again for visitors.”Though the 50-foot (15-meter) tree is too big to move in one piece, experts hope the trunk can be kept in large sections in order to leave future options open on what could be done. The stump, which could generate new shoots, will be kept in place and is currently behind a protective barrier. Seeds have also been collected to see if they could be used to propagate new saplings.“We’ve explored every option for moving the tree and while it isn’t possible to lift it in one go, as the tree is multi-stemmed with a large crown, we have aimed to keep the trunk in as large sections as possible, to give us flexibility on what the tree becomes in future," Poad said.Northumbria Police arrested a 16-year-old boy and a man in his 60s after the tree was felled a fortnight ago. They were released on bail pending further inquiries into what a chief detective described as the “senseless destruction” of the tree.The tree was one of the main landmarks along Hadrian’s Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built nearly 2,000 years ago, when Britain was part of the Roman Empire, to guard its northwestern frontier. For generations, walkers have paused to admire and photograph the tree at Sycamore Gap, which was made famous when it appeared in Kevin Costner’s 1991 film “Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.”The tree, which was cut down near the base of its trunk, could grow again, experts said, though they cautioned that it would never be the same.The National Trust has received thousands of messages about the tree, with advice on what to do with the stump and suggestions of what could be done with the felled tree, including making benches from the wood, a sculpture or souvenirs to sell.There will be a public consultation about what happens next at the site.。
