“Last night, officers spoke with members of the St Andrews community as we continue to establish Duncan’s movements after he left Madras rugby club.

“I would again appeal to the public to think back to last Wednesday evening and ask themselves if they saw Duncan, or have seen a man matching his description since this time, to come forward to help with ongoing inquiries.”
