Another property searched as police look for body

Police searching for the body of a man last seen in Leicester two years ago have searched a property in Lincolnshire.

Gary Piatek, 60, was last seen in April 2024, and though his body has not been found Leicestershire Police started a murder investigation earlier this year.

A force statement said it searched an address in Holbeach Road in Spalding on Tuesday "as part of ongoing inquiries", but said no arrests were made.

Eight people have been charged in connection with Piatek's death, and a trial is due to take place later this year.

Police said officers executed a warrant at a home in Broad Avenue, Leicester, in February this year, with its investigation involving "extensive searches carried out over a number of weeks, including ground penetrating radar and groundbreaking equipment".

The force confirmed in March that no remains were found during the search.
