Seven held over UK body-in-well

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 16 November 2013 | 19.51

SEVEN people have been arrested by UK police on suspicion of murder after a body was found in a well.

Gardeners made the grim discovery at a private house on Friday afternoon.

The body is still in the well at the property in Audley Drive, Warlingham, Surrey, and the recovery operation is expected to take some time.

Scotland Yard has confirmed that seven men have been arrested.

Detective Chief Inspector Cliff Lyons said on Saturday: "It is a murder investigation. As far as I am concerned, when a body is found in a well it either fell in there or was placed in there, and the evidence is apparent that the body was placed in there."

Two gardeners found the body shortly before 2pm on Friday as they were doing clearing work at the large house, which stands on grounds in an affluent area.

Mr Lyons said: "The body presents a number of logistical challenges. The well is two feet (60cm) in diameter, it is seven feet deep to the water line, and the water is approximately four feet deep.

"We need a police marine diving team, with breathing apparatus, and we need to recover the body intact to preserve forensic evidence. The process of recovery is likely to take some time."

He declined to speculate on how long this might be, but it was not going to be quick.

"It is not possible to ascertain with accuracy the gender of the body but, judging by the size, it is most likely to be an adult, not a child. The person is white."

He told reporters at the scene: "It's not been there for an extended period of time, it will be a matter of weeks at the most."
