The body of a young woman found in a lane earlier this week has been formally identified as that of missing teenager Ziggy Fisher.

The 19-year-old had not been seen since a member of staff at the nursing home where she worked gave her a lift into Bridgwater, Somerset, on Monday afternoon.

Her former boyfriend, David Weller, 34, is being questioned by police.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: The formal identification of the young woman found dead in Oxfordshire yesterday morning has now been completed.

It is confirmed that she is Ziggy Fisher, 19, of Almond Tree Close, Bridgwater.

The body was discovered in the early hours of yesterday morning in a lane near Wallingford, Oxfordshire.

Miss Fisher had lived with local DJ Mr Weller for three months but had recently moved back to live with her mother after a row outside a nightclub last Friday.
