A devastating development has unfolded in the search for a missing student, leaving the community in shock. The tragic news of a body being found has cast a dark shadow over the city of Lincoln.
Connor Calleja, a young and promising 20-year-old student at Lincoln University, disappeared after leaving a nightclub. His last known whereabouts were captured on CCTV, showing him walking along University Bridge in the early hours of Sunday morning. According to his stepdad, John Lewis, Connor had been denied entry to the nightclub Home and was attempting to return to his accommodation.
In a heartbreaking update, Lincolnshire Police announced today that a body was discovered during a search of the Foss bank, a nearby body of water. A spokesperson for the police force stated, "While formal identification is pending, we strongly believe this to be the body of Connor Calleja." This statement sent ripples of sorrow through the community.
The police added, "Connor's family has been informed and is receiving support from our specially trained officers. At this stage, there are no indications of any suspicious circumstances. We kindly request that the public and media respect the family's privacy during this incredibly difficult time."
Police also expressed their gratitude to everyone who shared the appeal and provided valuable information during the search. The University of Lincoln and Lincoln Students' Union had previously pledged their support to students affected by Connor's disappearance, offering a glimmer of hope in the face of tragedy.
But here's where it gets controversial...
