A body discovered outside a Nottinghamshire house has been identified as that of a woman who went missing last month.

Melanie Wilson was reported missing from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire on 21 October, having last been seen two days previously, when she sent her father a text telling him she loved him.

Nottinghamshire police launched a missing persons inquiry and on Thursday the remains of a woman were discovered in Stoney Street in nearby Sutton-in-Ashfield.

The force have now confirmed the body was that of 22-year-old Wilson.

A postmortem examination carried out on Saturday was unable to pinpoint a cause of death and further tests are being carried out.

A police spokesman said there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances, and the police are not looking for anyone else in relation to the death.

Wilson’s family have been informed.
