A body found in a loft has been formally identified by police as teenager Leah Croucher, who went missing more than three years ago. The 19-year-old's remains were found in a property in Milton Keynes that was less than a mile from her home and along the route she walked every day to work.
A post-mortem, which was conducted last week, has been inconclusive as to the cause of Leah’s death, say police investigating the her murder. A murder investigation was launched after the horrific discovery of remains in a loft space of a property along Loxbeare Drive, in Milton Keynes, on October 12.
A number of Leah's possessions were also found at the property and Neil Maxwell, a convicted sex offender who was found dead two months after her disappearance, has been named as the prime suspect by police. The 19-year-old disappeared at 10pm on Valentine's Day night 2019, and her parents, Claire and John, reported her missing the following day.
