Missing person update

We have called off the search for 32-year-old missing person Kenneth, from Wolverhampton.

Sadly, the body of a man was recovered on land near Pye Green, Cannock, yesterday evening (Friday 12 April).

Formal identification will take place in due course.

Detective Inspector, Helen Kirkland, said: “Kenneth’s family have been informed and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this very difficult time. They are being supported by police officers.

“We would like to thank our colleagues, partner agencies and the public for their assistance and support during the search.”

At this time the death is not being treated as suspicious. Officers will continue to investigate to establish the full circumstances and a report for HM Coroner will be prepared.

We have made a referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) due to recent police contact.
