24-year-old Kondwani Mwale was last seen at Amber House – a hostel for the homeless – in Trowbridge on the afternoon of Monday 26 October.

He posted a suicide note on social media and later took a call from a friend. In the call, he was distressed and running water was heard in the background.

Since the day of his disappearance, police searches have focused in the Warleigh Weir area – in Somerset, but close to the border near Bradford on Avon.
