Officers investigating the disappearance of a man from Ellesmere Port have launched a murder investigation.
Martin Conway was last seen overnight on Sunday 1st February into Monday 2nd February 2026 in the Chester city centre area.
Since the 39-year-old was reported missing, extensive enquiries have been carried out in an effort to locate him, but sadly to no avail.
Although no body has been found, following their investigation, officers believe Martin may have come to harm.
Four people have since been arrested on suspicion of murder.
This includes a 35-year-old woman from Winsford and a 37-year-old man from Northwich who have been released on bail, plus a 44-year-old woman from Chester and a 23-year-old man from Chester who both remain in custody.
Police are continuing to investigate Martin’s disappearance and would urge anyone with any information, no matter how small, to get in touch.
When he was last seen, Martin was wearing a black coat with a fur lined hood, grey jogger bottoms or black leggings and white trainers. He is described as 5’ 7” tall, of a slim build, with light brown hair and blue eyes.
Detective Inspector Andrea Price said:
“Martin was last seen over four months ago, and during that time we have been following multiple lines of enquiries in an effort to trace him. We now believe he may have come to harm.
“Following an extensive investigation, we have now arrested four people in relation to his disappearance who are assisting us with our enquiries.
“We would continue to appeal for anyone with any information as to Martin’s disappearance to please contact us – no amount of information is too small."
