A 15-year-old schoolgirl has gone missing two miles from where the body of murdered teenager Alice Gross was found in south-west London.

Millie Spencer, from Kingston-upon-Thames, was last seen on 2 October in west London, two miles from the river Brent where 14-year-old Alice’s body was found last week.

The location of Millie’s last sighting is also close to the park where the body of Alice’s suspected killer Arnis Zalkalns was discovered.

A Metropolitan police spokesperson said officers did not believe the teenagers’ disappearances were linked.

Police are appealing for assistance in tracing Millie, who is described as white, about 5ft 10ins, slim, with long brown hair.
