• by Chris Tindall A murder investigation has been launched after the body of a millionaire haulage boss was found floating in the sea close to Bournemouth Pier.
Police are now hunting three men in connection with Amar,jit Chohan's death and the disappearance of four members of his family.
Chohan, who owned Southall-based CIBA Freight Services, was last seen at his place of work on 13 February. His body was found in the sea more than two months later, but it appears it may have first been buried on a plot of land near Tiverton in Devon before it was removed.
Two post mortems have failed to ascertain the cause of death, but it is consistent with asphyxiation. Police have released photographs of two of the men they are keen to trace in relation to the murder. One, Ken Regan (also known as Avery) is an HGV driver for CIBA and the other, William Horncy (also known as Smith), is an associate of his.
Both men, in their fifties, boarded a ferry in Dover bound for France in the early hours of 30 April. They are still believed to be on the Continent.
The third man, 38-year-old Peter Rees, is thought to be an associate of Regan and Horncy and has links to the Hampshire and Dorset areas.
Chohan's wife, her mother and their two children disappeared at the same time as the haulage boss.
A spokesman for CIBA denied reports that the business was in the process of being sold to one of the men being sought by the police before the haulage owner's murder.
• Anyone with information about the famity's whereabouts or the murder of Chohan are urged to call the incident room in Barnes an 020 8247 7821 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111,
