The family of a man who was found dead are appealing for help to piece together what happened to him.

Police believe Abdellah "Abby" Saber, 57, may have been assaulted over the weekend of 25-27 September when he attended a food festival and camped at Truro in Cornwall.

Officers said he was pronounced dead by a river on Tolgarrick Road, in Tuckingmill, near Camborne, on 29 September. His death is being treated by as unexplained.

In an appeal issued through police, his family described him as "warm-hearted, generous and full of life", adding: "He deserved so much more, and we owe it to him to understand what happened."

Two men who were arrested on suspicion of murder remain on police bail while inquiries continue, Devon and Cornwall Police said.

Det Insp Jonathan Bray said: "We are continuing to explore various lines of inquiry as we seek to understand what happened to Abdellah in the days and hours before his death.

"We are appealing to anybody who knew Abdellah or may have seen him or an assault in the days before his death, to get in touch."

His family said he was "deeply loved" and they added he was "a genuinely beautiful soul".

They said he had "an adventurous spirit and a natural kindness that touched those around him".

"He had so much more life to live, so many more adventures to experience and so many memories yet to make," they said.
