ESSEX Police are searching for the next of kin of a man who died in a car crash in Leicester.

It is believed the Jeffrey Howell, 50, may have relatives living in Kent or Essex.

Motorcyclist Mr Howell died at Leicester Royal Infirmary on Monday night after being involved in a crash at 9.17pm near to the junction of St Margaret's Way and Devonshire Road, Leicester.

The incident involved a silver BMW M3, a red Vauxhall Corsa and Mr Howell's black Lexmoto XTR motorcycle.

He suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital where he later died.

Should you have any information about Mr Howell, who was born in Antwerp, Belgium, or his next of kin contact Detective Constable 1504 Seamus Burns at Leicestershire Police on 101.

A 29-year-old man arrested in connection with the crash was released on police bail pending further enquiries.
