Police officers searching for clues to the murder of a businessman in Freeman Street were searching drains today.
A North East Lincolnshire Council gully cleaning wagon was deployed to extract debris in the drains.
Officers then sifted through the debris.
Other officers searched wheelie bins and black sacks in the streets surrounding the flat where the body of
Sheikh Zubair Hamidi, 48, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex was found on Tuesday around 8am.
Mr Hamidi, who was of Bangladeshi origin, was the owner of the premises in Freeman Street which he was in the process of renovating.
The flat continued to be combed by crime scene investigators.
The cordon around the street was lifted last night and traffic was flowing normally, as businesses tried to return to normal.
Owner of Riby Square Cafe, Paul Croucher said: "It has been shocking for people to think that kind of thing is going on down here.
"But it is nice to see the regular customers coming back. It is hard enough running a business down here without being closed for days on end."
The cafe owner said he had seen the victim from time to time in the past.
He added: "We are hoping to get back to some kind of normality."
A neighbour, who did not wish to be named said: "I was out at the shop when it started. when i came back the First Responder vehicle was at the front. I thought it was someone who may have had an overdose.
"Then all the armed response teams turned up. I was terrified. It was like a scene from a movie. I was still half asleep so was not sure it was real. I didn't need to watch CSI on TV because it all happening in our street."
He added: "It then became a pain having to sign in and out (of the cordon)."
The 22-year-old said: "Everyone just wants to get back to normal."
Detectives renewed their appeals for information and asked anyone with any to call Humberside Police on 101.
