Police in Nottinghamshire have launched a major homicide investigation following the disappearance of an 82-year-old man and the subsequent discovery of his son's body.
Double Tragedy Sparks Murder Investigation
The case began when Brian Wright, 82, was reported missing from his home in Langford, near Newark, on November 20. Nottinghamshire Police confirmed they initiated a murder investigation into his disappearance.
The situation escalated dramatically when officers were called to a local farm on Saturday. There, in an outbuilding, they discovered the body of a 52-year-old man.
Victim Identified as Missing Man's Son
The deceased has been identified locally as Charles Wright, the eldest of Brian's three sons. Charles, who lived in the neighbouring village of Winthorpe, was found on the property on Monday.
Police have stated they believe Charles Wright's death is directly linked to his father's disappearance, connecting the two incidents in a tragic double mystery that has shaken the rural community.
Ongoing Police Investigation
Nottinghamshire Police continue their investigation into both cases, treating the disappearance of Brian Wright and the death of his son as connected events. The force confirmed it had launched a formal homicide investigation as they work to uncover the circumstances surrounding both men.
This remains a developing story as authorities pursue leads and seek answers for the Wright family and concerned local residents.
