A body has been discovered in the sea amid a search for a missing woman.

Police and the coastguard were called to St Margaret’s Bay, Dover, shortly before 1pm yesterday.

Sadly, the body of a woman was recovered from the water.

It comes after Kate Sparks, from Walmer, was reported missing last week.

A police spokesman said: “Formal identification has not yet taken place, however, the family of a 45-year-old woman from Walmer reported missing on Tuesday, September 2, have been informed.

“The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report is being prepared for the coroner.”
