Man named after body found in Ilkeston

Officers have identified the body of a man found in Ilkeston earlier this month.

The force was called on Friday 5 March to reports that a member of the public had found a body near a canal path in the town.

Following enquiries, officers have identified the man as Graeme Hill. Mr Hill’s family have been made aware and our thoughts are with them at this time.
