Father of missing Alice Davies "delighted" at discovery

Judge Mr Justice Keehan said Jacqueline Davies had become involved in family court proceedings after separating from former partner Julian Brown - Alice's father.

A judge had ruled that Mr Brown should have contact with his daughter, but she was then taken out of the country.

I'm delighted. I haven't seen Alice for nearly two years.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes to plan and I'll see her next week.

– Julian Brown

Mr Brown had asked the judge not to impose jail terms on Mr and Mrs Davies and Ms Williams.

On Tuesday, Ms Davies is due to appear at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in Birmingham.
