A suspected murder victim whose body was found in a car in an east London car park has been pictured for the first time.
Chaudhury Mahmood, 45, from the Newham area, was discovered dead in a car parked at the Stratford Centre shopping complex at roughly 1.15am on January 10.
Vasile Gorghescu, 41, was arrested the same day, and charged with murder.
Scotland Yard said on Tuesday: "While formal identification awaits, we can confirm the deceased is Chaudhary Mahmood, 45, from the Newham area.
"His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by a specially trained officer."
A relative reportedly told MyLondon Mr Mahmood was working at a mobile phone shop in the Stratford Centre, at the time of his death.
Gorghescu, of Rayner Gardens in Southampton, appeared in custody at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Friday, January 12, and was remanded in custody.
He was next due to appear at the Old Bailey on Monday, January 15, said the Met Police.
The Standard has approached the force for details of what happened at that hearing.
