Mum waiting to lay son to rest
A grieving mother hopes to finally lay her son to rest as police still struggle to piece together the last moments of his life.
The body of Warren Ullyett, 28, was found washed up on a French beach in Sangatte, Calais, on December 12 – more than a month after he was last seen in Herne Bay.
He was found to be carrying his passport, but his mother, Rani Ullyett, says police investigations found it was not used in the weeks before his death.
“All I know is December 12 was when they found Warren in France, but he could have died weeks before that,” she said.
“It’s frustrating. I’m just trying to kill time as I wait.
“They haven’t got anything to tell me.”
Mrs Ullyett travelled with funeral directors to France this month to repatriate Warren’s body, with an inquest opening in the UK three days later.
A second post-mortem, which followed a first in France carried out shortly after Warren’s body was discovered, has been conducted in England but did not establish the cause of his death.
Warren’s body is being held by British police, who are struggling to formally identify him given the length of time he may have spent in the water.
Kent Police are trying to establish his movements between November 4 when he was last seen and December 12.
