Following a massive search that lasted for more than three weeks, the body of a Kerala girl who went missing in the UK was found in the Almond River near Newbridge, Scotland.
Santra Elizabeth Saju, a 22-year-old woman from Edinburgh, vanished after being last seen on Friday, December 6.
Around 11:55 a.m. on Friday, December 27, the body was found. Although she hasn’t been formally identified, police have confirmed that her family has been notified after a body was found.
On the evening of December 6, Santra was last seen at the Asda store in Almondvale, Livingston, between 9:10 and 9:45 p.m. She had been in Livingston’s Burnvale neighborhood at about 8:30 p.m. She was working part-time at the store. Police released CCTV footage of her last sighting, where she was wearing a black face mask and black winter coat.
Since the police have confirmed that the incident is not suspicious, a report will be prepared and sent to the procurator fiscal for additional legal action.
