A 30-year-old man has become the fourth person to be charged with the murder of Marcin Stolarek in Boston in January.
Artur Klosowski, of Witham Place in Boston, was arrested on October 26 in the Republic of Ireland before being brought back to the UK.
He was charged with murder, assisting an offender and preventing lawful and decent burial of a dead body, after Marcin Stolarek, 46, was found dead in South Forty Foot Drain on January 12.
Klosowski appeared at Lincoln Magistrates Court on Tuesday, December 1 and is due to appear at Lincoln Crown Court on Wednesday.
It now means that four people have been charged with Marcin’s murder, as well as a further charge for Adam Maksajda, 34, of Blacksmiths Grove, Fishtoft, who has been charged with perverting the course of justice.
Adam Kaminski and Justyna Swiatek, both 27 and of Union Court, Boston, were charged with murder alongside Lukasz Ferenc, 28, of Windsor Bank.
They are all due to face trial at Lincoln Crown Court on Monday, January 4.
Detective Chief Inspector Karl Whiffen said: “This continues to be a detailed and lengthy investigation, in which our objective has always been about bringing justice for Marcin’s family.
“The arrest and charge of Artur Klosowski comes some months after Marcin’s body was found, but it’s vitally important that we pursue those who we believe are responsible for his death.”
Officers are now appealing for further information, saying that even the smallest detail could prove crucial in the case.

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has confirmed plans to jet-wash blocked gullies in Leadenham following persistent flooding, which has left residents and businesses in constant fear of property damage during heavy rainfall.
The council intends to jet the A607 outside Leadenham Post Office as an urgent measure to mitigate ongoing flood risks, with a full clean scheduled for January. The announcement comes after a plea from Leadenham Parish Councillor Martyn Everett, who highlighted significant flooding along Sleaford Road.
A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
