Human remains have been in a London park, by officers investigating the disappearance of Agnes Akom.

The 20 year old left her home address in the Cricklewood Broadway area at the beginning of May and hasn't been seen since.

Although formal identification hasn't taken place, we understand her family have been told.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, senior investigating officer from the Met’s Specialist Crime North, said:

“The discovery of human remains by my colleagues searching the area is both shocking and deeply disturbing for everyone concerned, in particular for Agnes’s family who continue to be supported by specialist officers. I request that their privacy is respected as this very difficult time.

“I expect my team and forensic colleagues to remain at Neasden Recreation Park for some days to come as they maintain the scene and complete their site examinations.

“I would like to thank the local community for their patience as we continue with our enquiries in the recreation ground.”
