The decomposing body found in a Wenhaston garden last month has been confirmed as the missing teenager Miller Redpath.
Police investigating the teen’s disappearance first discovered the body shortly after 1pm on Thursday, October 24.
Officers were initially unable to identify the body, however the results of tests, published today, have confirmed it to be 18-year-old Langley School student who had been missing since August 13.
Officers continue investigate the cause of death but it is not being treated as suspicious.
Miller’s mother Anastasia Miller had previously made a heartfelt appeal for her only son’s return.
