Hopes that five-year-old British boy Sahil Saeed had been found were dashed as the police chief leading the investigation in Pakistan confirmed the search is ongoing.

Muhammad Aslam Tareen, a detective based in Punjab, said he could "categorically confirm" the youngster, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was still missing.

Mr Tareen said: "We are closing in, yes. But have we found him yet? No. We hope to have something in the next 24 to 48 hours."
