The death of student Libby Squire is being treated as a ‘potential homicide’, police said today. 

Humberside Police found the 21-year-old’s body in the Humber Estuary earlier this week following a six-week search after her disappearance during a night out with friends in February.

The force confirmed today it is now ‘solely investigating’ her death as a possible murder and have stopped probing other causes.

A post mortem took place last night but police are not releasing the results due to ‘operational reasons’.

The University of Hull student, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, had not been seen since the early hours of February 1. She had been on a night out in Hull but is believed to have been refused entry to a nightclub and put in a taxi by her friends. 

Humberside Police believe she may have ‘come to harm’ and a 24-year-old man suspecting of abducting her has been charged with a number of unrelated offences. 

Officers confirmed that Polish butcher Pawel Relowicz, from Hull, was still under investigation, although he has never been charged in relation to her disappearance. 

Mourners have left floral tributes in her memory today at a bench in Beverley Road, Hull, where she was last seen in February.

In a statement, Detective Superintendent Martin Smalley said: ‘Our thoughts remain today with Libby’s family and friends at this incredibly sad and devastating time for them.

‘The loss of a loved one is always an upsetting and traumatic experience to go through, but the circumstances surrounding Libby’s death will only intensify the heartache for her family.

‘Specially trained officers continue in supporting Libby’s family and we will do all we can to provide further support and assistance to them in any way we are able to.

‘The University of Hull have also created a space for tributes to Libby, which is open to both students and the community to attend and remember Libby and offer any messages of condolence.

‘In regards to our investigation, while we have considered throughout the missing person inquiry that Libby may have come to some harm, Libby’s death and the recovery of her body now leads us to solely investigate as a potential homicide.

The 40 minute face lift you have while you’re wide awake https://dailyconcord.com/the-40-minute-face-lift-you-have-while-youre-wide-awake/ Sun, 17 Feb 2019 23:52:19 +0000 https://dailyconcord.com/?p=13780 Lying on a bed, wide awake, I’m fully aware that my eyelids are being sliced

Lying on a bed, wide awake, I’m fully aware that my eyelids are being sliced open. I’ve already had three-inch cuts made on both sides of my head and had those stapled back together.

But this is no horror story. I can’t feel a thing and I’m remarkably chipper. In fact the doctor, who is, with enormous delicacy, removing a sliver of skin from each of my eyelids, has just asked me to stop chatting because it’s distracting him. After all, this is an operating theatre. Frankly, I’m surprised to find myself here. A few weeks previously, in my role as a beauty journalist, I’d been offered the chance to be one of the first women to try a new treatment — the T-lift, so called because it involves lifting the face from the temples.

This is a facelift, but not as you know it. There are no visible scars because the incisions are behind the hairline at the sides of the upper face. It’s performed when you are wide awake — without even sedation, let alone a general anaesthetic.

There’s no bruising, no swelling, no bandages. Some patients go back to work almost immediately. One, I’m told, went back the very same day.

I’m having it done at EF Medispa, a discreet London clinic. I’d had Botox and fillers in the past, but the idea of surgery hadn’t occurred to me, mainly because it seemed so extreme. And I’m not alone in feeling this way.

An audit from the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) found that there was a drop of almost 8 per cent in the number of surgical cosmetic procedures in 2017, with the number of facelifts performed on women by BAAPS members falling by a staggering 44 per cent.
