Nicola Bulley’s partner has told of his “agony” after a body was found in the river near where she went missing
. It is understood that a man and a woman walking their dog discovered the body and called police.
In a message to Sky News, her partner Paul Ansell said: “No words right now, just agony. We’re all together, we have to be strong.” “No formal identification has yet been carried out, so we are unable to say whether this is Nicola Bulley at this time.“Nicola’s family have been informed of developments and our thoughts are with them at this most difficult of times. We ask that their privacy is respected.”
The police diving team could be seen conducting the search while a police drone and helicopter flew above. “All I can say is when we searched she was not on the bottom of that river,” he said. We weren’t searching the reeds, our job was to search the water.” In a press conference on Wednesday, they revealed the mother-of-two was classed as a “high-risk” missing person immediately after Mr Ansell reported her disappearance, “based on a number of specific vulnerabilities”.
