Lancashire police have clarified why it was continuing to assess the river close to where Nicola Bulley went missing.
On Tuesday (April 11), a police diving team was spotted in the area in proximity to where the mum-of-two disappeared. It is understood that officers were also at the scene earlier in April.
While speculation was rife as to what the police were still doing in the area, it has now been confirmed that they were there under the instruction of the HM Coroner. It was highlighted that the police were not performing any more searches along the river and it was simply part of the 'coronial process.
