POLICE are appealing for information after a man was found dead.

Officers were called at 10pm on March 3 to Old Mill Rd, Plumstead where they found the man's body.

A post mortem examination held at Greenwich Mortuary on Saturday morning gave the cause of death as head injuries.

Police do not believe the man was killed where he was found and are searching areas nearby, including Plumstead Common, for clues.

They are making inquiries to establish his identity, and anyone who can assist is asked to come forward. He is believed to be aged in his late 20s, 5ft 9in tall and weighing about 60 kilos, with short dark hair.

He was wearing a black padded jacket, grey jeans and a pair of grey trainers.

He has a distinctive tattoo on his right upper arm. It is a crude outline of a bird.

Police are very anxious to hear from anyone who may have been walking on the common or in the area between 6pm and 10pm on Friday.

There have been no arrests.
