A BODY believed to be that of missing accountant Talha Wahab has been found in the suburban park where his car was discovered more than a fortnight ago.

The body, yet to be formally identified, was found at Fawkner’s Moomba Park Reserve in a creek about 11am today.

But organisers of a Facebook page dedicated to helping find Mr Wahab confirmed the body was his.

“We have been notified that our beloved brother Talha’s body has been found by the police,” they wrote.

“During this time, we ask that you respect the family and make sincere dua (prayer) for Talha.

“May you all be rewarded for all of your support until now and please do continue your support, love and prayers.”

Search and Rescue police are at the park with local police to retrieve the body.

Homicide Squad detectives have visited the scene and will oversee the investigation.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.

It has not been determined whether the death is suspicious.

Mr Wahab, 29, was last seen on September 15 about 5.30pm as he was leaving charity Oxfam’s Carlton offices, where he worked.

His locked car was found about 10pm parked at Moomba Park Reserve near his house, but there was no trace of the soon-to-be dad.

He was reported missing to police about 12.25am the next day.

Wife Tanzeel Memon, around six months into her pregnancy, had pleaded for public help to find her husband — describing him as a loving and caring husband who had been excited about the upcoming birth of their first child.

Moreland Crime Investigation Unit is leading investigations into the case.
