There have been potential sightings of missing Liam Colgan on CCTV, his brother has revealed.

Liam, 29, from Inverness, vanished in Hamburg in the early hours of Saturday.

His brother Eamonn said footage had been picked up of him walking alone.

Speaking in Germany, he said: “There have been a couple more potential sightings that the police are currently working on and reviewing CCTV on those areas.

“There is a recording of Liam in the Reeperbahn area. It isn’t actually outside the pub. It’s further along the Reeperbahn towards the train and subway stations.

“After that there is no other image of Liam. I don’t know the exact location. It’s some sort of gaming area, I think he was outside there.

“He is seen walking alone, as we thought he would have been.

“We don’t know much more at this time.”

He earlier spoke to BBC Radio 1’s Newsbeat programme and pleaded with his brother to get in touch.

He said: “Please, please come home. Everyone misses you. You’re very much loved. I don’t know what happened to you, just please get in touch, find a way.”

Eamonn, 33, was supposed to be getting married in two weeks’ time and Liam had organised the trip to Hamburg and was in charge of the arrangemen­ts. The group arrived in the city on 9 February. They had visited a few bars and had splintered, and the last place they were in was called the Hamborger Viermaster. When Eamonn woke the next morning, his brother was not there.
