The second part is following Matthew’s return and shows him sitting outside the same pub. He then heads off down Church Street at 0.44am, this is the last confirmed sighting of Matthew.

Detective Inspector Nazir added: "It remains unknown as to where he went. I can’t reiterate enough how out of character this is.

"I would like to appeal to the public again to please get in touch with any information they have.”

Matthew is described as 6ft tall, of medium build, with dark brown hair. He was last seen wearing a navy long sleeved shirt, jeans and grey pull up boots.

On Wednesday Matthew's parents delivered an emotional appeal for information.

Mum Clare Jordan said: "We know Matthew had money on him and that his mobile phone battery had gone flat.

“He asked for assistance at one establishment to use a phone charger and a taxi to be ordered.

"He also asked at another establishment for a room for the night.

"Unfortunately none of these requests were fulfilled.

"Matthew was last seen heading towards the Rayrigg Road at around 1am.

"We believe that there must be more sightings of Matthew at this time, please come forward with any information no matter how small.

"Matthew is our world. We love you Matthew. We will find you and we will never give up looking for you.”

DI Nazir added: "There is no reason to suggest anyone had fallen out – Matthew had gone towards the toilets and that’s where his friends thought he was.

"They were four lads, all of a similar age, build and height, all from the North East and all students.

"They have all been described by witnesses so far as nice, polite lads."
