Ebenezer had not been seen since the start of the month

Police have confirmed they have found a body in the hunt for a missing young man in Coventry. They believe it is that of Ebenezer Ayanouvi, who had not been seen since leaving his home in the Walsgrave area of the city at the start of April.

Sadly, only a few weeks ago his devastated family issued an appeal to ‘bring him home’ to the community. In a statement, issued this morning (April 25), Coventry Police said that the family have been informed.

“While formal identification is yet to take place, Ebenezer’s family have been informed of the tragic news,” the statement reads. “The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.

“Our thoughts remain with Ebenezer’s family and friends at this devastating time.”
