A body has been recovered this evening during searches for missing 16-year-old Athrun.
Multi-agency searches resumed this evening, Wednesday May 14th, in the West Shore area of Llandudno following sighting of a body on Tuesday evening.
Searches conducted by the police underwater search team, NPAS and coastguard resulted in a body being recovered today at 6.20pm.
Formal identification is yet to take place, but Athrun’s family have been informed and are being supported by officers.
The death is not being treated as suspicious, and the coroner has been informed.
Chief Inspector Trystan Bevan said: “My deepest condolences remain with Athrun’s family, and I would ask for their privacy to be respected at this incredibly sad and difficult time.
“This is not the outcome anyone hoped for, and I would once again like to thank partner agencies and members of the public for their overwhelming support and tireless assistance with the searches over the last five days.”
