A body found near a railway line in Kentish Town yesterday afternoon could be that of missing trainee rabbi Andy Hinz, police confirmed today.
Andy has been missing since last Wednesday when he was last seen leaving the Black Cap gay pub in Camden High Street at 2.10am and his mother Barbara, who flew in from Germany, made a passionate plea for her son to get in touch only yesterday.
But police at New Scotland Yard confirmed they had found a body at the junction of St Pancras Way and Baynes Street at 4.30pm on Wednesday after a resident noticed a smell coming from a plastic bin bag.
A spokesman for New Scotland Yard said: "The dismembered body, which has not yet been identified, has been taken to St Pancras Mortuary and inquest is being held today. The squad are liaising with officers involved with the search for Andreas Hinz."
