A body which has been pulled from a river in Chester is believed to be the body of missing teenager Emmanuel Chikwa. Cheshire Police confirmed the news on Sunday (April 10) after the 18-year-old student was reported missing earlier this month.
Emmanuel Chikwa, 18, was last seen on Sunday, March 27 and was later reported missing on April 1, with police issuing appeals to the public to help trace his whereabouts. CCTV footage of him on the day he vanished was also shared by police shortly after.
However, following 10 days of searching, Cheshire Police confirmed that a body was pulled from the River Dee in Chester City Centre and added that, despite formal identification having not yet taken place, it was understood to be the 18-year-old.
