Ali Qazimaj named in connection with murder and disappearance of Suffolk pensioners

Police have released an image of a man they would like to speak to in connection with the murder and a disappearance of an elderly couple in Suffolk. Officers investigating the murder of 75-year-old Peter Stuart, whose body was found in woodland near his home in Weybread on 3 June, have named 42-year-old Ali Qazimaj as a "key person" that police need to trace for their inquiry.

The body of Stuart was found just over a week after he and his wife Sylvia were reported missing on 28 May. Police said their "key focus" was still on finding missing 69-year-old Sylvia Stuart.

Police now want to speak to Qazimaj in connection with the investigation. He is described as white, around 5ft 6ins tall, with brown eyes and dark brown greying hair. He was last seen on Friday, 3 June, in Essex.

Police are urging the public not to approach Qazimaj if they see him but to call 999. Alternatively, anyone with information can contact Suffolk Police through the incident room on 01473 782000.

Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Parkes said: "This remains a fast-moving investigation and our priority continues to be to trace Sylvia. With this in mind we are keen to speak to Ali Qazimaj. Officers are working to locate him and we would ask anyone with information about where he is to get in contact with police as a matter of urgency."

A 61-year-old man previously held on suspicion of Mr Stuart's murder remains in custody.
