Suffolk's acting assistant chief constable has defended the team searching for missing serviceman Corrie Mckeague, after criticism from his mother.

Mr Mckeague's mother, Nicola Urquhart, said police had "utterly destroyed" her confidence that they will find her son, who went missing on a night out over 10 weeks ago. 

Louisa Pepper, acting assistant chief constable, said: "He's been missing a number of weeks, so I can fully understand how the family must be feeling. 

"However, let me reassure you, this investigation is a priority for Suffolk Police. We are using the similar sort of resources we would put into a murder investigation.

"We've put in search officers, we're utilising members of the RAF, we've got inquiry teams looking at it, so we are putting an inordinate amount of resources into finding him. 

"I'm absolutely confident that my officers will do everything they can to find Corrie."

The Very Reverend Frances Ward said there had been an increase in the number of candles lit and notes left at the cathedral since his disappearance, and that "daily prayers" were said for him, alongside others.

"You can feel the concern in the town, and even though it's 10 weeks on, people are still there, really praying and keeping faith," she said.

"I don't know what's happened for Nicola to lose faith in the police but much better to carry on working with them if possible, I think, just to keep that forward momentum going.

"Otherwise people start to lose heart, and we don't want that, it's really important to keep faith."

The mother of missing Corrie Mckeague said police have "utterly destroyed" her faith in them finding her son.

Nicola Urquhart's comments were made after the 23-year-old serviceman's grandparents offered a five-figure reward for information leading to his discovery and return.

She said: "They [the police] have absolutely destroyed my belief that they are competent and they know what they're doing. 

"This is more than just resources, this is an utter betrayal of trust."

Mrs Urquhart would not elaborate on what the "betrayal" was.

Mr Mckeague has been missing since a night out in Bury St Edmunds 10 weeks ago.
