THE SEARCH FOR Kwok-Leung Yeung, 20, continues with police focusing on the York, Cambridge and London areas. Kwok-Leung was last seen by his family going to bed at 11pm on 8th October and was later identified on CCTV boarding a train at Aylesbury, his home town, towards London.

Kwok-Leung had been studying Computer Science at York, but Nouse have been informed by sources in the Students’ Union that he failed his second year exams. Sue Hardman, the Academic Registrar, wouldn’t support these claims but did say that the university “had hoped he would return.”

It would appear that his parents had not been told about his exam failure and as such expected him to arrive at the university where a room in Lindley Court, Halifax College was still reserved. Madeline McHugh, a concerned would-be housemate described events on her first day: “The porters asked several times if I had seen him. They were very persistent so it was clear at that stage it was serious.”
Kwok-Leung’s room has since been filled by a first-year student studying English and Education.

Neil Barnes, SU Welfare Officer, explained that he had helped police by contacting the chairs of societies he was known to be an active member in. However, he made it clear that they did not want to alarm students.

Anyone who has any information is urged to call Aylesbury Vale Police on 08458 505 505.
