DETECTIVES believe that the body of a woman found in an area of farmland on the outskirts of Alton on the afternoon of October 12 is that of missing woman Leanne Turnbull.

Leanne went missing from Alton on September 14. The 34-year-old had not been seen since.

Officers were called to farmland at Neatham, between East Worldham and Alton, shortly after 3pm on Wednesday after members of an organised pheasant shoot discovered the body.

The death is not currently being treated as suspicious.
