Police are searching a Kenwick home as part of their inquiry into the disappearance and suspected murder of father of two Malcolm Benjamin Boyd Taylor.

The Armadale 37-year-old has not been seen since April 29 and has not spoken to his family nor touched his bank accounts.

Forensic experts yesterday searched the home on Kenwick Road but police would not reveal any other details.

Last week, police revealed they feared Mr Taylor was dead and were treating his disappearance as a suspected homicide.

Major crime squad Det-Sen Sgt James Bradley had said his family was extremely worried because it was very unusual for him to not be in touch with his two teenage children or other relatives.

The 37-year-old was last seen around Kenwick and Orange Grove on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 29, after catching a train about midday from the city to the Maddington-Kenwick area.

Police said Mr Taylor was well known in that Kenwick area but would not reveal details about his last known movements and were still trying to confirm what he was wearing that day.

Mr Taylor lives with friends but is in regular contact with his son, 18, and daughter, 14.

He has brown eyes, an olive complexion and black hair that is shaved at the sides and longer at the back. He is 185cm tall and has a slim build.

Police have appealed for anyone with information about his whereabouts or fate to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
