Christopher Aubrey search: Body found

Mr Aubrey's family said they were becoming increasingly concerned for his safety

Police searching for a man who disappeared after a night out in Leicestershire have confirmed a body has been found.

Christopher Aubrey, 30 was last seen at about 02:00 BST on Friday in Sergeant Peppers bar in Regent Street, Hinckley.

A body was discovered by a member of the public at Burbage Common, near Hinckley, on Tuesday evening.

Formal identification has not been carried out, but members of Mr Aubrey's family have been informed.

Hundreds of people joined the search for Mr Aubrey after his disappearance, according to his family.

'Creature of habit'

His sister Clare said the family was growing increasingly concerned as his disappearance was out of character.

She said: "Chris is a creature of habit and wouldn't want to worry people.

"The police say they've never, ever had so much support for a missing person before. It's overwhelming.

"The whole of Hinckley has been out in force. Even people who don't know Chris have been handing out flyers, putting posters up, searching fields and parks."
