Phillip Lewis has been recognized by police as the man whose remains were discovered in Oakwood Pond. Mr. Lewis, 59, was referred to as “Scottish Phil” and had resided in Harlow for a long time, according to Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby, who is in charge of the case, which is being handled as a murder inquiry.
“Phillip was well-known in and around the town center and had a wide network of acquaintances with whom he would socialize,” DS Kirby said in a statement today.
Two neighborhood guys have been detained in connection with the murder of Philip, according to the police. A 23-year-old was detained on suspicion of conspiring to commit murder, while a 52-year-old was detained on suspicion of murder.
Both are still being held.

“For the past eight days, a group of hardworking investigators and forensic specialists have been piecing together what we think were the circumstances behind Phillip’s death.
