    Detectives searching for a Leicester man who's been missing for nearly two weeks say new CCTV footage has thrown up a "baffling" new line of enquiry, external.

    Michal Zygan, 25, disappeared while walking from his home in Hopefield Road to nearby Percy Street early on 25 July.

    CCTV footage taken later that morning showed him walking toward the canal towpath near Bede Park with a Nike rucksack on his back.

    However, new CCTV footage has emerged showing him further along the towpath a few minutes later without the rucksack.

    Insp Lynda Sherwin, said: "Despite extensive police enquiries, we can still find no logical reason why Michal was on that towpath instead of being at work doing a job he clearly loved.

    “Now, in the space of perhaps three or four minutes, we have him pictured carrying his rucksack, and then without it.

    "Somewhere between 08:30 and 08:34 along that towpath, Michal’s rucksack has vanished. Since 8.34am that morning, 12 days ago, Michal has also vanished."

    A man known as "Jonny Mamba", described by police as one of Nottinghamshire's biggest suppliers of Mamba, has been jailed for three years for producing and supplying large amounts of the psychoactive substance.

    Jonny Henderson, 39, from East Street, Sutton-in-Ashfield, was arrested in October 2016 after officers raided his house and found 44kg of unprepared vegetable matter along with the acetone and synthetic powders used to prepare Mamba - as well as 12kg of the already prepared substance.

    They also found a substantial amount of cash.

    After sentencing, the officer in the case, Dale Smith, said the force had been gathering evidence on Henderson for some time and were "pleased" he'd now been taken off the streets.

    The mother of a Derby woman stuck in Lombok following yesterday's earthquake says her daughter is "traumatised" and "desperate to come home".

    Naomi Mulryan and husband Adam were celebrating their honeymoon on one of the Gili Islands close to Lombok when the quake struck.

    Naomi's mum Elaine Froggett, from Oakwood, said after managing to get on to one of the boats leaving the island, the newlyweds have since made it to Lombok and are hoping to get a flight to Bali tomorrow.

    "They have had no help from anyone," said Mrs Froggett.

    "The ATMs have ran out of money, they've not had any food or water since yesterday and they just want to come back."

    She said she was now trying to contact their airline to get the couple's flight home changed.

    The UK Foreign Office said it was working with Indonesian authorities to help British people affected, and that extra flights were being added for people who wished to leave Lombok.
