A Grassy Park community activist has accused police of not following established protocol when children go missing.

On Thursday, a body was found on a field off Plantation Road, Ottery, and it is clear police suspect it is that of 12-year-old Jennifer Williams of Parkwood, who disappeared near her home on December 20th.

The badly decomposed body was found by a passer-by behind the old Ottery reformatory.

Yesterday, Jennifer’s mother, Rachel Williams, said police had refused to let them try to visually identify the body.

 Although police have not confirmed the identity of the body they took DNA mouth swabs from Jennifer’s family.
