Student found in stream

The body of an Oxford Brookes student missing for 36 hours has been found in a stream in west Oxford.

Matthew Jones, 23, was reported missing by friends and family on Monday morning after he failed to come home from a trip to a pub in the city centre. His body was later found near his home in North Hinksey by police on Tuesday.

The Brookes student described himself on his Facebook page as a nice guy who loved to drink at the Purple Turtle in the city centre.

Police are now trying to find out more information about his final movements on Sunday.
