Legal fight as Corrie hunt ends

- By Patrick Hill

THE mum of missing airman Corrie McKeague may take out an injunction to stop the landfill site where he’s thought to be buried from being filled in.

Nicola Urquart, 48, is furious after cops ended a 20-week search of the site – even though they think he was accidental­ly dumped there after falling asleep in a bin after a night out.

Corrie, 23, disappeare­d last September in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, near his RAF Honington base.

Police say there is CCTV of him in a loading bay behind a Greggs bakery. Soon after a bin lorry took away a load and his mobile phone signal followed its route to the dump at Milton, Cambs, 30 miles away

But Nicola – a Police Scotland family liaison officer – said: “Corrie never slept in bins. Someone claimed to know who killed Corrie and put him in the landfill. Police know this yet they are not exhausting all lines of enquiry.

“I’m getting advice about the possibilit­y of an injunction to stop them filling the landfill – at least until there’s more honesty and plain speaking.”

Suffolk Police yesterday declined to comment.
