Corrie McKeague’s dad talks of heartbreak watching cops search landfill for his son’s body
Martin McKeague also said he felt no anger or blame towards the police, who earlier this week admitted a data mistake in the inquiry
The DAD of missing airman Corrie McKeague said today that visiting the landfill site where police are searching for his son's body was like staring into a "piece of hell."
Martin McKeague, 48, who visited the rubbish tip in Milton two days ago, also said he felt "no anger whatsoever" at Suffolk and Norfolk police following a data blunder, which was revealed earlier this week.
Following he said today: "I think it was a very personal thing and I think we did have to take a couple of days to get over that emotion, but to actually see Suffolk and Norfolk police there raking through the rubbish it's a horrendous task, it really is and personally the thought of being there and that Corrie is underfoot really is like staring into a piece of hell."
But he said he felt no anger or blame towards the police, who earlier this week admitted a data mistake in the inquiry.
Initial data showed the weight of the waste collection from the horseshoe area on the night Corrie went missing was over 11kg, but .
Detective Superintendent Katie Elliott said: "The search is likely to take six to ten weeks to complete, although this will obviously depend on daily progress on the site.
"We have a large area - around 920 square metres, up to a depth of eight metres - of waste to search through and a plan has been put in place to manage this process to ensure a thorough and comprehensive search is undertaken.
A Harris Hawk was drafted in today in the landfill search.
Any information relating to Corrie's disappearance or about the potential witnesses should be passed to the incident room on 01473 782019.
