A body has been found in the hunt for missing teenager Kayleigh Haywood.
Officers searching for
the 15-year-old discovered a body was found in a field in Ibstock,
Leicestershire Police said.
The grim discovery came
as police launched a murder investigation.
Kayleigh was last seen
by her family as they dropped her off outside a school not far from her home.
Her mobile phone and
items of her clothing were found by police in different areas.
The 15-year-old was
dropped outside Ibstock Community College in Leicestershire on Friday evening.
She called her family
on the phone the following morning, but no trace of her has been seen since.
Since she was reported missing, police have found Kayleigh’s
mobile phone and other items belonging to her.
On Tuesday, the Mirror
revealed how two men have been arrested after the 15-year-old, who was last
seen on Friday, told her parents she was going for a sleepover at her best
friend’s house.
But
it is believed the popular youngster secretly met a man she had been in contact
with on social media .
A source said:
“Kayleigh had told her best friend about a man who had been messaging her on
Facebook.
“They
were both going to meet this man on Friday evening, but earlier in the week Kayleigh announced
she was no longer going to meet him.
Magistrates granted
detectives a further 36 hours to hold and question the two men, aged 27 and 28.
They were originally
arrested on suspicion of kidnap and have now been re-arrested on suspicion of
murder.
