Guernsey police continue 'lengthy and complex' Mikus Alps investigation

Police in Guernsey say they want to bring the experts who have supported the Mikus Alps investigation together to examine and discuss all forensic findings.

The specialist forensic examinations were carried out by experts off-island.

The body of the 33 year old from Latvia was found on the 8th January inside his car at Petit Bot.

While they are unable to provide details of the latest examinations, they have confirmed what they know so far:

• The remains found in the vehicle were that of Mikus Alps

• The 'sombre and reflective' letter handed into police was written by Mr Alps

• The remains of a shotgun were also found in the vehicle next to Mr Alps

• Mr Alps was a supporter of a pro-Ukrainian movement and had visited the country

• There is no evidence linking Mr Alps’ activity in Ukraine with his remains being found in a burnt-out car in Guernsey
