Officers investigating the case of a boy\u2019s torso found floating in the River Thames are planning to visit Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The headless and limbless body of the five or six-year-old child, was found near Tower Bridge in September 2001. The boy was named Adam by officers.<\/p>\n

Tests revealed he was poisoned 48 hours before his death and was paralysed but conscious when he was killed.<\/p>\n

A woman was arrested in connection with Adam\u2019s death in July 2002, but she was deported to Nigeria months later.<\/p>\n

Forensic tests, involving samples taken from the bones, linked the boy to West Africa and subsequently to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Officers believe Adam\u2019s death was a ritualistic killing and he had been poisoned with an extract from the carabar bean.<\/p>\n

Investigators also met with the former South African President Nelson Mandela over the case.
He subsequently made a public appeal for information about the boy in April 2002.<\/p>\n

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: \u201cWe can confirm that the investigation team has been preparing to visit Lagos, Nigeria, in connection with the Adam inquiry. They will be travelling in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
