Family of Nicola Bulley release statement after her body is discovered in River Wyre
A man who claims he found Nicola Bulley’s body has reckoned he used his “gifts” as a “medium” to locate the missing dog walker.
Jason Rothwell, a self-styled spiritual medium, wrote on Facebook that “yes, it is myself in the images in the media currently circulating”.
“I decided to use whatever ‘gift’ it is we mediums possess to try and locate Nicola Bulley,” he wrote online.
It comes after police searching for the mother-of-two confirmed that the body found on Sunday in the River Wyre is that of Ms Bulley.
In a statement read out by Lancashire Police at a press conference on Monday evening, the 45-year-old’s family urged that the press and members of the public “must be held accountable” for false accusations, misquotations and “vilifying” Nicola Bulley’s friends and relatives.
“It is shameful they have acted in this way. Leave us alone now,” the family said. “Do the press and other media channels and so-called professionals not know when to stop? These are our lives and our children’s lives.”
