Body found in sea off Dover was missing pub landlord

on Christmas Eve has been identified as that of Malcolm Levesconte,
who was reported missing from a pub in Wiltshire two weeks
earlier.

Levesconte's disappearance from the Royal Oak public house in
Shrewton, Wiltshire, since December 9 when he was last seen alive.
It was thought he had taken a ferry to France, but never
arrived.
His body was found four miles off Dover
after Dover Coastguard was alerted following a report that the
body had been sighted from a cross-Channel ferry.
Dover Lifeboat was called out, and the body
was brought ashore at the lifeboat station.
Police say they are investigating a
theft from the Christmas savings club at Mr Levesconte's
pub.
