A body found in the search for missing Katie Kenyon has been confirmed by police to be the mum-of-two.
Police said a post-mortem examination revealed she had head injuries which led to her death, the Mirror reports.
Lancashire Police announced the news through a statement on Twitter on the afternoon of Sunday May 1.
It read: "We can now sadly confirm that the body found in the Forest of Bowland is that of Katie Kenyon.
"We found Katie on Friday following extensive searches and she has now been formally identified as the missing Padiham mum, 33.
"A Home Office post-mortem examination was conducted yesterday and the cause of death was given as head injuries.
