Police searching for missing woman Wendy Simms have found a body in water at Maxey Pits near Peterborough.

Wendy, 52, of South Parade, Peterborough, who used to live in Doddington, was reported missing to police on Monday and a search was launched to find her.

It was the second time she had gone missing in three months - In October she sparked a major search effort by residents in Doddington after she disappeared from her then address in Ancaster Way, Doddington.

She was eventually found by a farm dog in a farm’s conservation area nearly 30 hours after she was last seen.

The death is not being treated as suspicious and has been passed to the coroner.

Police would like to thank members of the public for their support with the appeal.
