A former senior police officer has criticised the diving expert who volunteered his services for the river search for the missing mother-of-two Nicola Bulley.
Peter Faulding, head of Specialist Group International, led a team of experts and divers to assist Lancashire Police in searching the River Wyre using specialist sonar equipment.
He previously said he did not believe Ms Bulley was in the water, but a body has now been found by divers – although not yet been identified – and Ms Bulley’s family have been informed of the discovery.
