HUMAN remains have been found in connection with the disappearance of Agnes Akom.

Officers found the remains on Monday, June 14, at Neasden Recreation Park.

While they await forensic identification, the family of Agnes have been informed of this development and are being supported by specially trained officers.

Agnes, also known as 'Dora', 20, disappeared on the morning of May 9 after leaving her home in Cricklewood Broadway and was reported missing two days later, on May 11.

Neculai Paizan was arrested in North Acton a week later, on May 18, and was subsequently charged with her murder, but officers have not specified if he's connected to these latest developments.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil John, senior investigating officer from the Met's Specialist Crime North, said: "The discovery of human remains by my colleagues searching the area is both shocking and deeply disturbing for everyone concerned, in particular for Agnes's family who continue to be supported by specialist officers.

"I request that their privacy is respected as this very difficult time.

"I expect my team and forensic colleagues to remain at Neasden Recreation Park for some days to come as they maintain the scene and complete their site examinations.

"I would like to thank the local community for their patience as we continue with our enquiries in the recreation ground."
