Fresh CCTV image released in search for missing student

Police probing the disappearance of a student more than two weeks ago have released a new CCTV image of him on the night he vanished.

Duncan Sim, 19, went missing on March 14 after leaving Madras Rugby Club in St Andrews, Fife, at about 11.15pm.

Police say inquiries have revealed that he was in the St Andrews Links area between 11.24pm and 11.33pm that Wednesday night.

The CCTV image shows him outside the town's Pilmour Clubhouse, near the Eden Golf Course, wearing a grey suit jacket, white shirt, blue-and-white striped tie and brown shoes.

Mr Sim is described as being white, 6ft tall, of medium build, with green eyes and brown hair.

Inspector Karen Muirhead said: "We are committed to our search for Duncan and information now obtained from CCTV enquiries supports him being in the area near to the Eden Course shortly after he left Madras Rugby Club.

"He appears to be alone but it is unclear what direction he left this area in.

"I would again appeal to the public to think back to Wednesday March 14 and consider if they saw Duncan, or a man matching his description in the area.

"We hope that this image jogs someone's memory and can give us that vital piece of information that we need in order to trace him.

"It has now been two weeks since Duncan was last seen and we remain extremely concerned for his welfare. We continue to keep Duncan's family updated with our enquiries and any developments."
