BODY BELIEVED TO BE MISSING GP
The body of a woman found in Nottingham is believed to be that of missing doctor Elizabeth Kinston.
The discovery was made at 12.25pm yesterday (Thursday 14 November 2013), on grassland near Enterprise Way in Dunkirk, by police officers searching for the missing mother-of-two.
A post-mortem examination took place this morning (Friday 15 November 2013). While the full results are expected to take several weeks, the death at this stage is not being treated as suspicious.
Detective Inspector Kev Broadhead said: “Formal identification has yet to be confirmed, but at this stage we do believe we have found Elizabeth. It’s a tragic conclusion to the inquiry and one we were all desperately hoping we would not have to face.
“On behalf of the Force and of Elizabeth’s family I would like to thank the hundreds, if not thousands of people, who helped in the search for Elizabeth, whether by sharing appeals on social media, distributing posters or getting out on the streets to search.
“It’s been an unprecedented response and something I know her family would like to give heartfelt thanks for. It has given them incredible strength through these difficult days.”
“We ask that you now allow them to digest this most distressing news. David’s priority will be his two little girls and getting them through this. We are supporting them during this difficult time.”
Elizabeth, 37, went missing from her Beeston home on Friday 1 November 2013. The appeal for her whereabouts was publicised by local and national media and shared hundreds of times on social networks.
