Police searching Tay for missing boy recover body POLICE search teams scouring the River Tay for a missing teenage boy from Poland, have recovered a body from the river. Mateusz Wilamowski, 16, is feared to have been swept to his death while trying to cross the swollen river at the weekend. Mateusz, a Polish national who had been staying with relatives in Perth since arriving in Scotland from Poland in May, disappeared from view as he and two friends were wading across the river on Sunday night when the teenager appeared to loose his footing and was swept away in the strong current. He was last seen near an area known as Woody Islands, a narrow spit of land in the Tay midway between the Scone side of the river and the opposite bank on the North Muirton area of Perth shortly before 7.30pm on Sunday night. A spokesman for the Tayside Division of Police Scotland said today: "Police officers are currently in attendance at the River Tay, at North Muirton, Perth, following reports of a body having been seen in the water. The body was spotted by a member of the public at about 1.25pm who in turn contacted Police Scotland. The area has been cordoned off and emergency services are now in the process of recovering the body from the water.  He added: "A police family liaison officer is with the family of missing teenager Mateusz Wilamowski and is keeping them fully informed of any developments. The 16 year-old was reported missing after he disappeared from view while crossing the river, near to Woody Islands, North Muirton on Sunday evening. No further information is available at this time.
