A chief constable has paid tribute to a hugely respected retired police officer who died after an assault on a canal towpath.
Charlie Hall said Clive Porter showed unwavering dedication during nearly 30 years with Hertfordshire Police.
Mr Porter, 63, died on 26 April after being attacked while working for the Canal and River Trust on the Grand Union Canal in Buckinghamshire.
Daniel Wisniewski, 34, of no fixed abode, has been charged with murder.
Detectives are appealing for help to identify a man whose body was recovered from water in 1981.
Forty years ago this week, at the Grand Union Canal in Southall, the body of a man was pulled from the water. His death was not thought to have been suspicious.
Despite extensive enquiries made in May 1981 and continued efforts over the past four decades, the man was never identified.
Officers hope that this appeal, which forms part of a cold case review, may prompt someone to think about a family member or friend that they lost touch with forty years ago who looked similar to the artist’s impression that was compiled based on how the man looked at the time of his death.
