Chinese social media platform TikTok has issued a statement after its users were criticised for interfering in the investigation into the disappearance of mum of two Nicola Bulley, 45. Ms Bulley’s body was pulled from the River Wyre in Lancashire on Sunday after the 45-year-old was last seen on January 27.
She had been walking her dog in St Michael’s on Wyre after dropping her daughters, aged six and nine, at school. Throughout the case, police had criticised social media users flocking to the area where Nicola went missing to film videos for their fans. Some were dispersed or even arrested and fined by police.
Some filmed themselves digging at potential 'grave sites' in nearby woods, others 'found' evidence police then had to examine and discount.
