A BOY of six whose torso was found mutilated in the Thames has been identified ten years later.
The tragic lad has been named as Ikpomwosa, from Nigeria, and a picture of him was released.

Detectives believe the lad, who they called "Adam", was smuggled to London to be butchered in a twisted West African religious ceremony.

His identity was revealed after a TV crew tracked down a woman who used to care for him in Germany, after his parents were deported home to Nigeria.

Mum-of-two Joyce Osiagede, now also back in Nigeria, told ITV London Tonight she handed the youngster on to a man named Bawa who took him to London.

Former Det Insp Will O'Reilly, who investigated in 2001 when the torso with no head or limbs was found, said: "It's a major breakthrough."
