CAMBRIDGE - Police investigating the disappearance of a Canadian student in Cambridge have found a body concealed within the church where she was last seen. Police said they had not yet identified the body and a post mortem examination was expected to take place on Saturday to establish the cause of death. Angela Markel, a 20-year-old student, had been living at St Patrick's Church in the William area of the city. She was reported missing on Monday after she failed to turn up for work. Police said the body was discovered at 2000 hrs on Friday, after a detailed search of the church premises.
Earlier on Friday, police revealed that the man last seen with Ms Markel was a registered sex offender. The man previously thought to be John Brighton was identified as 60-year-old Peter Timble. Mr Timble had been doing odd jobs in the church for the past six weeks. Cambridge Police said his last known address was in the Ashley area. Mr Timble was considered a potential risk to members of the public.
Ms Markel was on a working holiday to fund her studies at Linapore National University. She was due to return home on 2 October and had bought her ticket.
