DEVON and Cornwall Police continue to ask for the public’s help to trace the last movements of a man whose body was found in woodland between Truro and Probus on Tuesday, July 1.

Lee Hockey, 50, was from the Truro area. Detectives investigating a suspected murder are appealing for anyone who saw him between June 23 and July 1 to come forward.

Officers were called to woodland between Truro and Probus at around 6pm on July 1, where Lee’s body was located.

Detective Inspector Rob Smith, from the Major Crime Investigation Team, said: “As our enquiries continue we are refreshing our appeal for information.

“It has been confirmed that Lee spent the most of Monday, June 23 in Truro city centre, before taking a bus out to the Trispen area.

“The last-confirmed sighting of Lee was in Trispen later that evening. His whereabouts from there are currently unknown but it is likely he would have been travelling on foot.

“We are urging anyone who may have passed through Trispen, Tresillian or the surrounding the villages, and who has dashcam, doorbell or CCTV footage in those areas, to please check them.

“If you have anything that may be relevant to us, please report it as a priority.”

DI Smith continued: “We appreciate that an incident of this nature will cause concern, but would reassure the community there is no information at this time to suggest that there is any wider risk to the public.”

Detectives have set up a Major Incident Public Portal (MIPP), which allows members of the public to directly send large files such as doorbell, CCTV and dashcam footage that could assist in the investigation.

If anyone has any information or footage that could help with enquiries, please contact police via the MIPP here.
