London —  A body has been found in a river during the search for a missing man in Ashford, police said.

Officers had been looking for Yugal Limbu, 33, who was last seen during the early hours of Saturday.

He was found in the River Stour near Bowens Field.

A police helicopter was spotted over the park on Sunday night, and Victoria Park was cordoned off by officers yesterday as they continued their search.

Kent Police tweeted: “We’re no longer appealing for information to locate Yugal Limbu, a man reported missing from Ashford.

“Yesterday a body was located and, although formal identification has not taken place, his family have been informed.”

Police added that the circumstances are not being treated as suspicious.
