The leading detective in the Ramniklal Jogiya murder investigation has written an open letter appealing to the public for information.
In the letter, Det Ch Insp David Swift urged anyone to come forward with information even if it seemed "insignificant".
He said: “Mr Jogiya was a husband, father, brother and well-known businessman who was innocently walking home when he was pulled off the street and bundled into a van.
“I cannot even begin to imagine the fear he must have experienced that night, how scared and frightened he would have been and the violence he may have experienced before he died."
Det Ch Insp Swift thanked the public for their help in the investigation so far.
Police have arrested seven people in connection with the death - three have been charged with kidnap and robbery while the other four are being questioned on suspicion of kidnap and murder.

£10m funding for Rushcliffe Borough Council housing development
Kevin Stanley
Reporter, BBC Radio Nottingham
The government's awarded Rushcliffe Borough Council almost £10m to help build road links to a new housing development.
As many as 3,000 homes are planned for Fairham Pastures, south of Clifton.
The council says the funding will help to minimise delays in getting the project under way.
Rushcliffe Borough councillor Roger Upton, said: “We very much welcome this funding that will allow developers to greatly improve the pace of delivering homes on the site.
“We have some major challenges of delivering over 13,000 homes across the borough in the next decade - this is a major boost for one of our strategic housing sites."
Ring girl says taking away jobs is 'anti-feminist'
Chris Fawcett
BBC News
Scrapping women's roles in certain sports isn't something to be celebrated, according to ring-girl Kaytee Wilson.
Ms Wilson, 23, told BBC Radio Nottingham her role "adds glamour" to boxing, but she wouldn't be surprised if the sport eventually got rid of her job too.
Ms Wilson walks the fighters to the ring and displays numbered cards between each round - sometimes wearing a crop-top and hot pants.
This comes after the Professional Darts Corporation announced it would stop using walk-on girls and Formula One said grid girls would no longer feature as they are "at odds with modern day social norms".
She said: "I feel that taking the job away from us is anti-feminist, it's telling us we cannot do a job - if this happened in any other career, there would be an uproar - if we feel safe and comfortable it should be our choice."
