A body has been found by police officers searching for a missing Banbury woman. The discovery was made last night (November 28).
Willow Du Plooy was last seen on Friday afternoon at around 5pm and was reported missing to the force yesterday.
Following a search, the body of a woman was found at Cherwell Valley Services.
The woman’s death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
