The police search for the remains of murdered Muriel McKay has been called off.
In a letter to her family, Katherine Godwin, Detective Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police, said: “We have now completed the search of the area defined in the agreed parameters, along with an additional range which we identified was not covered by the 2022 search or the 2024 parameters.
“I regret to say that the search was unsuccessful in finding Muriel’s remains or any evidence relating to her kidnapping and murder.”
Her family has asked Mrs. McKay convicted murderer Nizamodeen Hosein will be taken from his Caribbean home to the excavation site to show detectives where he buried her body in 1970.
They believe the search cannot be completed without his presence on the farm in Hertfordshire.
According to the family, police admitted they forgot to dig part of an agreed excavation at the farm in 2022 when they found nothing.
This was the area that was now searched.
