Search for Kaliyah: Body found in the Thames
A body has been recovered from the River Thames at Maritime Quay.
The body, which has yet to be formally identified, was taken away shortly after 9am yesterday.
However, the family of Kaliyah Coa have been informed of this development and are being supported by specialist officers. An update will be provided following formal identification.
Kaliyah, 11, had been playing with another young girl and boy during a school inset day when she slipped in the water and disappeared.
A recovery mission was launched to find her along the Thames, with the Met saying in an earlier statement that officers were “leading an extensive examination of the area”.
Barge House Causeway is a concrete slope that goes directly into the River Thames and is used to transport boats. The Met Police released her name and photo at the start of the month.
