Sussex Police are searching for an Iranian murder suspect after a man’s body was found in St Leonards on Thursday.
Seyed Iman Tabarhosseini, 37, is wanted after the victim in his 50s was found with ‘significant injuries’, Sussex Police said.
The man was discovered in a property in Magdalen Road and police have launched a murder investigation.

‘This is a fast-moving investigation and we have conducted a vast number of lines of enquiries to date.
‘We are now appealing for help from the public. We believe Tabarhosseini has vital information to our investigation. He has links to Hastings and North London, and in particular with the Iranian communities.
‘We are urging anyone who sees Tabarhosseini or has information on his potential whereabouts to dial 999 immediately. Please do not approach him.
‘There will continue to be an enhanced police presence in the area for the foreseeable future while we continue our enquiries.
