A "murdered" man missing for five years turned up at a police station just days after five people were arrested on suspicion of killing him, it emerged today.

Ismail Ali disappeared on May 29, 2020, after he was last seen leaving work in a shop in Cumberland Road, in Bradford, West Yorks.

Detectives investigating his disappearance today confirmed that he turned up at a police station on Nov. 19, reporting to be safe and well.

His reappearance comes just days after three woman aged 47, 54 and 55, and two men, aged 27 and 51, were arrested on suspicion of his alleged murder on Monday (Nov 17) after officers conducted warrants.

They were all since been released on bail.

The force says they are "working to understand" the full circumstances surrounding Ali's disappearance.

They also said Ali’s family has been notified that he has been found safe and well and is being safeguarded whilst necessary checks are being made.

Following the arrests on Monday, house searches were carried out at on Beckside Road and Cumberland Road three properties and a large amount of cash was seized.

The people who were arrested remain on bail for money laundering offenses while inquiries remain ongoing.
