Nazire Koreli: Bexley Police Appeal Two Years After Welling Woman Vanished

Two years after Nazire Koreli disappeared from Welling, her family and the Metropolitan Police are making a renewed appeal for information. Ms Koreli, 56, was last seen in September 2024 close to her home on Axminster Crescent. She was reported as a missing person five months after this last sighting.

Ongoing Investigation and Searches

The Metropolitan Police's Specialist Crime Command has conducted extensive enquiries into Ms Koreli's disappearance. These investigations have included analysing CCTV footage and carrying out diver-led searches in water near Danson Park. Despite these efforts, her whereabouts remain unknown.

In connection with the investigation, a man in his 50s was arrested on March 10, 2025, on suspicion of Ms Koreli's murder. He has since been released on bail, and police enquiries are continuing. Detective Chief Inspector Wayne Jolley stated that the investigation remains active and the police are committed to pursuing all available lines of enquiry.

Ms Koreli is described as a woman of slim build, with light brown hair and olive skin. Detectives are urging anyone who may have seen her or has any information about her disappearance between September 2024 and February 2025 to come forward.

Appeal for Information and Reward

The family of Nazire Koreli continue to experience the emotional toll of not knowing what has happened to her. Her daughter has spoken of the 'darkness clouding every happy moment' and the ongoing anguish caused by the unknowns surrounding her mother's disappearance.

Crimestoppers, a charity, is offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to a significant breakthrough in the case. The Missing People Charity has also encouraged Ms Koreli to contact their helpline on 116 000 if she is in need of support and wishes to be safe.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 101, quoting reference CAD 5678 of 28 February 2025. Alternatively, information can be provided anonymously to Crimestoppers via their website or by calling 0800 555 111.
