Police hope to trace two people who they believe spoke to missing man Leicester man Ezra Wale on the night he disappeared.

The man and woman are believed to have spent some time with 22-year-old Ezra after he had spent an evening with friends in Leicester city centre on Saturday night.

Leicestershire Police said friends last saw Ezra in Church Gate at 11.30pm.

He was spotted with the man and woman approximately 40 minutes later in the same area before they walked together toward Burleys Way.

The man was wearing light-coloured trousers and a dark jacket while the woman was wearing a knee length coat and light-coloured trousers. She was carrying a large handbag.

Police have urged them to get in contact.

Pc Phil Porter said: “We are continuing to carry out a number of inquiries to find Ezra including speaking to people in the area and checking CCTV.

“From these inquiries we understand a number of people have talked to Ezra after he was last seen by his friend.

“If you are the people described above then please get in touch. Your information could be vital and help us in our search to find Ezra. “Ezra has not been reported missing before and his family and ourselves are extremely concerned for his welfare.”

A team of police divers searched a section of the Grand Union Canal, in Frog Island, yesterday.

In a statement, Leicestershire Police said: “There were no developments in the ongoing inquiries following this search.”

Ezra is white, approximately 5ft 9ins, slim and has shaved hair.

He was last seen wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt, black or grey jeans, a black lightweight fleece jacket and black trainers.

He had white earphones with him.
