Police believe a man missing for more than two months may be somewhere in Essex. 

Hussam Bashraheil was last seen in the Poplar area of East London on Thursday, January 14.

The 21-year-old was reported missing in February.

The Met Police have been trying to trace Hussam's whereabouts believe he could have travelled to the Theydon Bois area of Essex on Saturday, January 30.

Detectives say Hussam's picture is a good representation of how he would look now, but he also may have now grown facial hair.

Det Con Amanda Lloyd, said: "Hussam's family are understandably concerned about his disappearance, which is completely out of character.

"We are following a number of lines of enquiry and one hypothesis is that Hussam is sleeping rough or camping in a tent."

His sister has also released a message for Hussama, saying: "I pray for your safety every day. I miss our jokes and I just need to know you're ok."

If anyone has seen or heard from Hussam then they should contact police on 101 and quote reference CAD 5397/13Apr.
