Police searching in Hampstead Pond for remains of Mr Robert Duff
Robert Duff, who would be now 45, has not been since 12 January 2013, when he did not attend his daughter’s 18th birthday party. Police now believe his remains might be in the No1 pond in Highgate, Camden after receiving new information. Police divers are searching a pond on Hampstead Heath for the body of Mr. Duff who disappeared 8 years ago.
In May 2018, two men were although arrested on suspicion of murdering Mr. Duff but were later released under investigation.
The Met police’s theory was that Mr.Duff was involved in a fight with two men on the day he vanished and was killed that evening. That night several people saw him in a flat in Bredgar Road in Archway, North London.
Mr. Duff’s mother, Helen Duff, 67, said the prospect his remains could in “a pond I walk past regularly is quite upsetting. The original investigation was a complete shambles. It feels a lot of time has been wasted and evidence lost”.
