Officers investigating the death of Nantwich teenager Jonty Evans are appealing for further information and CCTV footage to aid in their enquiries.

Jonty Evans

Jonty Evans, 16, was reported missing by his family on Saturday 31 August from the Nantwich area.

Sadly, the teenager was later found dead in the river Weaver near Riverside, Nantwich, on Sunday 1 September.

Officer's enquiries to establish Jonty's whereabouts in the hours prior to him entering the River Weaver remain ongoing and, as part of their investigation, they are asking anyone who may have been in the Waterlode area of Nantwich between 12.30am and 2.30am on Saturday 31 August and may have seen Jonty to please get in touch.

Detective Inspector Nigel Parr, of the Major Investigation Team, said:

"Our investigation into how Jonty entered the water remains ongoing and, as part of further enquiries, we are asking anyone who may have seen him in the Waterlode area of Nantwich between 12.30am and 2.30am on Saturday 31 August or has captured him on any CCTV, dashcam or ring doorbell footage to please get in touch.

"As well as this, I would also like to ask anyone who has any information that may help officers in understanding the circumstances surrounding Jonty's death to please come forward."

The Constabulary would also like to reiterate the family's request for privacy at this extremely difficult and distressing time for them. We kindly ask that members of the press respect this request.

Anyone with any CCTV, dashcam, Ring doorbell footage or any information relating to this incident can submit it to police directly via MIPP.

Alternatively, information can also be passed on to Cheshire Police on 101 or via the website, quoting IML-1907900.
