Gran Canaria - 28.07.2010 - The appeal has been made in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of 23-year-old Sarah Shields, who was reported missing by her family when she failed to return from a two-week holiday. The decomposed body of a young woman discovered in the sea on 7th July has since been formally identified as Sarah Shields. Sarah was staying in the Balito Beach Apartments, located on the south west of the island, during her holiday. Police are appealing for anyone who stayed at the apartments at anytime during the two-week period to get in touch immediately and help them retrace her movements and those of her boyfriend, 36-year-old Christopher Chittock from Ipswich, who was arrested on 13th July on his return to England on suspicion of murder and perverting the course of justice. The senior officer leading the investigation in the UK, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Guy said “we can obtain guest information from the Balito Beach Apartments but this will take time, so meanwhile we are appealing for people who stayed at the apartments during this time to contact us directly. We are aware these apartments are particularly popular with British holidaymakers and we are keen to do all we can to support Spanish authorities investigating the murder of Sarah Shields.” Police in the Canaries are anxious to gain as much information on the couple’s stay in Gran Canaria with a view to issuing an arrest warrant for Mr Chittock, who appeared in court again yesterday in Suffolk. If you stayed at the Balito Beach Apartments during these dates please contact DCI Andy Guy of the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Major Investigation Team on (00 44) 1473 613500 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
