Whether the body that’s been found is Richard or someone else, Richard’s mother and father will be going through unimaginable hell with their uncertainty and fear. They are where my prayers are directed at the moment.
Richard Okorogheye's mother has been told 'the description matches his' after a body was found in Epping Forest in the search for her missing 19-year-old son.
“Oh God, they said the description matches his, but we’ll go in tomorrow to find out," Richard's mother Evidence Joel told My London.
She spoke briefly in a highly emotional call during which she revealed that police had told told her the body they have found has a similar description to her missing son.
No formal identification of the body has yet been carried out.
'They said description matches his' says Richard Okorogheye's mum as body found
Tomorrow?! That's outrageous.
I think it's this one. Checking Street View, this stretch of road would be terrifying at night. Darkness and bushes everywhere, and isolated.Is the pond right next to the road? I think I’m looking at the correct one...?
Yes and no. It depends what condition the body is in, and what might need to be done forensically before he can be cleaned up a bit and made to look as presentable as possible,
It's unusual to do family-verifications anyway these days. To make her wait overnight seems a little cruel, if they could do anything.
