The back of a phone found close to where a missing RAF gunner's mobile was last detected has no link to the inquiry, police have said.

Corrie McKeague, 23, from Dunfermline, vanished while on a night-out with friends on September 24 in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk.

An object thought to be a mobile phone was found by a member of the public in Mildenhall Park earlier - some 14 miles from where Corrie was last seen.

Officers have now confirmed it was just the back of a mobile phone and there is nothing to say it has any link into the inquiry of Mr McKeague's whereabouts.
