Body found 'as a result of enquiries'

The investigation into the disappearance of Mikaeel Kular has been wide-ranging and fast moving.

As a result of enquiries the body of a young child was recovered in Fife just before midnight.

We strongly believe this to be the body of Mikaeel.

A person has been detained in connection with the recovery of the body and members of Mikaeel’s family have been informed of the recovery.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with them at this time.

I would like to thank everyone who has responded to these highly unusual events by assisting with searches and other activities in support of this investigation.

– Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham, Police Scotland
