WATCH: High police presence near woods
A body found in woods in Salcombe has been identified as woman who went missing from London.
Mee Kuen Chong, 67, also known as Deborah, was originally from Malaysia but has been living in the Wembley area since 2004. She'd been missing for just over two weeks.
Now police are appealing for information to help trace her last movements.
Officers were called to a wooded area near Bennett Road at around 5pm on Sunday 27 June. They say the body may have been there for some days.
Police are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have seen Mrs Chong since Thursday 10 June. This would include any hotels or bed and breakfast accommodation where she may have stayed and also from anyone who knows why she was in Salcombe.
They said that while: "this discovery may cause some concerns in the community, the heightened police presence is to investigate all of the circumstances."
They ask for anyone with information to email 101@dc.police.uk or call 101, quoting reference number 0700 of Sunday 27 June.
