LONDON (AP) — London police said Tuesday they “strongly believe” that a body they pulled from the River Thames is that of a man wanted over a chemical attack that injured his former partner and her two young daughters. The Metropolitan Police say the crew of a passing boat reported seeing a body in the water near the Tower of London the day before. Detectives concluded it was that of 35-year-old Abdul Ezedi. Police launched a nationwide manhunt for Ezedi after the attack in south London on Jan. 31 and believed he “had gone into the water.”
