A huge manhunt was launched last month after Ezedi, a former asylum seeker, travelled from his home in Newcastle and allegedly attacked a woman he had been in a relationship with, throwing a powerful alkaline in her face.
Following the attack, police pieced together his movements across London as he travelled on public transport and walked through the city streets.
The last known sighting of him was on Chelsea Bridge at around 11.30pm on Jan 31.
On Feb 7, the Met Police said they believed that Ezedi had entered the river at that point and they have been searching for his body since.
Officers from the Marine Policing Unit have carried out a number of low tide searches in the area surrounding Chelsea Bridge and have been scanning the area downstream.
One worker who helps run tours from Tower Millennium Pier said he had noticed around three or four rescue boats on late Monday afternoon along the stretch of water where Ezedi’s body is believed to have been retrieved.
The worker, who did not wished to he identified, said their team were briefly stopped from running tours during the retrieval of the body.
“I didn’t know exactly what it was, this time of the year they are always bringing stuff up.
“There were a bunch of blue lights, rescue boats, there.”
At midday on Tuesday there was no sign of any police activity, only a stream of news broadcasters and camera crews along the pier recapping to the public Ezedi’s final movements.
