A tragic story unfolds in Plymouth, where a missing man's life has been cut short, and a teenager now faces serious charges. The dark side of a night out.
Drew Perham, a young man of 24, was reported missing after failing to return from a Friday night outing. The search for Drew led police to Soap Street near Millbay Marina, where a scene guard was stationed. But here's where it gets controversial: on Sunday afternoon, a body was discovered in the water, and the police believe it to be Drew.
A 19-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and the investigation is moving at a rapid pace. Detective Superintendent James Dowler expressed his condolences to Drew's family and friends, acknowledging the challenging time they face. He also highlighted the significant police presence in the Millbay area as the investigation progressed.
And this is the part most people miss: the police are seeking information from anyone who was in the Millbay area between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Saturday morning. If you have any information, no matter how small, it could be crucial to the investigation.
