Police are urging people still to come forward with any information they have about a fatal hit and run.
Motorcyclist Craig Voyce, 23, was killed following a collision with a Range Rover at the junction of Gidea Park’s Main Road and Heath Drive shortly before 10.50pm on October 28.
The dad-of-three from Dagenham was found seriously injured at the location by officers and the London Ambulance Service.
He was taken to an east London hospital but was pronounced dead at 2.49am.
A post-mortem examination at Walthamstow mortuary gave the cause of death as multiple injuries.
The car failed to stop at the scene and was later found by officers abandoned in a car park on Main Road.
A 43-year-old man was arrested on October 30 on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and failing to stop. He has been released on bail until a date in late March.
