POLICE are trying to identify a jogger seen running in lanes near Alton the same day British diplomat Richard Morris went missing.

An image, captured on a motorist’s dashboard camera, shows a man running on London Road at the junction with Lower Neatham Mill Lane, Alton, at approximately 12.30pm on Wednesday, May 6.

He was running in the direction of Alton to Binstead.

A police spokesman said: “We appreciate the image is not very clear – however, the footage is available to view on the East Hants Police Facebook page.”

It has now been more than two months since the 52-year-old former ambassador to Nepal and dad of three went missing from Bentley.

The last confirmed sighting of Mr Morris was at 10.50am on May 6 on Isington Road in Alton.

Anyone with information that could possibly help police with their ongoing enquiries is asked to call police on 101 and give the reference 44200160398.
