Cornwall Blaze Body Probe Continues

Police are continuing to investigate an unexplained fire and the discovery of a body at a house in Cornwall.

The body was found following a fire at the house in Vivian Road, Bodmin, during the early hours of Saturday morning.

Police have not yet confirmed the identity or the sex of the body.

Police are also trying to trace a local woman named Corby Craze, 43, who has been reported missing.

She was last seen on Friday evening socialising in the town. She is described as having blonde neck-length hair and, when last seen, was wearing a white, flowing knee-length dress with strappy type sandals.

Police are also investigating whether a car which was discovered burnt out in Hillside Court on the same night, is connected with the house fire.

Devon and Cornwall Police have appealed for anyone who was in the Vivian Road area between midnight and 3:15am and who has any information to contact them on: 08452 777444.
