The death of a man who went missing after a night out in Norwich is not being treated as suspicious, police say. 

Nigel Kedar went missing after a night out in Norwich on April 2, 2017. 

It is believed the 52-year-old decided to walk home to Clacton in Essex after a friend let the air out of his car tyres due to concerns that he was unfit to drive.

The last contact he had with someone was when he called his work colleague to say he would not be coming in, with police seizing his car in Goldwell Road in Norwich city centre.

The father-of-one was caught on CCTV on April 4 in Long Stratton, getting £100 cash from a shop, and sighted later the same morning in Dickleburgh.

This was the last time Mr Kedar was seen. 

His body was finally found six years later on June 8, 2023, when a member of the public stumbled upon the remains of a body in Norwich Road, Mendlesham, in north Suffolk.

Mr Kedar's cause of death remains unclear, but Norfolk police have now confirmed that it is not being treated as suspicious. 

Speaking about his brother at the time of his disappearance, Richard Kedar described him as a friendly, hard-working man who was an important member of the family.

He said the disappearance was completely out of character, saying: "He is a normal sort of guy, lots of friends in and around his workplace and at home."
